Apple has its first foldable iPhone launching this fall, and the latest rumors make it seem more clear than ever that iPhone Fold will combine two of my favorite products\u2014iPhone mini and iPad mini\u2014into a single device.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My history with iPhone 12 mini and iPad mini<\/h2>\n

\"iPad<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used many different iPhone and iPad models over the years, of varying sizes and power. And two of my all-time favorites are the iPhone mini and iPad mini.<\/p>\n

I owned an iPhone 12 mini in 2020 and adored it. It was such a delight to use one-handed. But when rumors said that iPhone 13 mini would be the last small model, I reluctantly moved on and upgraded to an iPhone Pro.<\/p>\n

Also, before the iPad Pro launched in 2015 and became my full-time computer, I was an avid iPad mini user.<\/p>\n

iPad mini gave me everything I wanted from iPad at the time, when I was still using a MacBook Air as my laptop. One of my favorite things about it: the mini fit inside my jacket\u2019s inner pocket, so I could carry it everywhere with ease.<\/p>\n

These days, I use an iPhone Air and M5 iPad Pro as my two main devices. But the latest rumors about the upcoming iPhone Fold make me think it could bring back those fond \u2018mini\u2019 days\u2014but in a single device.<\/p>\n

iPhone Fold could deliver two \u2018mini\u2019 devices in one<\/h2>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Reporting indicates that the iPhone Fold will have a pretty strange design for an iPhone.<\/p>\n

When folded, it will be substantially shorter but also wider than all other iPhone models. And when unfolded, it will feel a lot like an iPad mini\u2014complete with iPad-like apps.<\/p>\n

Screen sizes are estimated around 5.4 inches for the outer display, and 7.8 inches for the inner display.<\/p>\n

By comparison, iPhone 17 and 17 Pro are 6.3 inches, iPhone Air 6.5 inches, and iPhone 17 Pro Max 6.9 inches.<\/p>\n

After years of 6+ inch iPhone sizes, the roughly 5.4-inch iPhone Fold display will feel tiny to some.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never lost my preference for smaller iPhones, so I\u2019m excited to try the…<\/p>\n
