But it makes no sense. If you want to test for thinness, they’ve been doing it already with ipads.

Also look at the thinness, weight of iphone 6s and compare it to air. You will be suprised.

The main paint points about foldable is a — duh — folding screen and a hinge. And neither are in air.

The idea is that the folding phone would be essentially 2 Air’s* with a hinge between them.

* possibly/probably thinner, but the Air serves as a “how thin can we make this since we need to improve our ability to make thin phones/components to accomplish a folding phone”. A sort of “you have to walk before you can run”-type thing. At least that’s how I see it.


Like I’ve said: - ipad pro is 5.1 mm - iphone air is 5.6 mm

Air is thicker than ipad
