I\u2019ve made my reservations about the foldable iPhone clear before, it\u2019s an odd design and definitely not something that I had ever envisioned Apple releasing. Samsung immediately followed suit after the designs leaked, with a supposed Galaxy Z Wide Fold currently in development.As Galaxy Z Wide Fold details, renders, and leaks come out alongside reports about Apple\u2019s upcoming foldable, I can\u2019t help but feel that there might just be a solid market for these phones after all. Naturally, Apple would have conducted extensive research before finalizing the design, but the company isn\u2019t immune to making mistakes.
\nBut the more I think about these new foldable flagships, the more I start to believe that they might actually be pretty decent phones. And, dare I say it, perhaps even very good foldables.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be better for entertainment<\/h2>\n

My initial negative kneejerk reaction to the foldable iPhone<\/span> was mainly due to the fact that the external display is so stubby. If you want to use the phone like a traditional model when it\u2019s folded, you will have a lot less screen real estate and everything will be condensed.<\/p>\n

Most foldables on the market today, like the excellent Galaxy Z Fold 7, feel like a normal phone when folded. This means that you can take it out and use it for a short task just like you would with a standard phone without having to mess around with unfolding it and navigating a much larger display.<\/p>\n

The foldable iPhone<\/span> and the Galaxy Z Wide Fold won\u2019t work like that. Both phones will have much smaller screens that will be very off-putting in today\u2019s era of smartphones with massive displays that get even bigger each year.<\/p>\n

But you know what? The main displays will be wider and have a much better aspect ratio than…<\/p>\n
