They are trying to make foldable iPhones because everyone else is making a foldable phone, but have they stopped and asked themselves if people want and need a foldable?

I have yet to see a real use case for something like a Samsung Z flip, and carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

I’d take a foldable over the current slabs any day of the week

Why? What does it bring you? I’m genuinely curious

The phone is drastically smaller than most slab phones these days. So it's very easy to use with one hand. Then when it's unfolded, the large inner screen is amazing for viewing photos, reading ebooks, comics and reading Reddit/websites.
