Trial production of Apple's long-anticipated foldable iPhone, likely called the "iPhone Ultra," has run into a significant engineering hurdle centered on hinge reliability, according to a known leaker. The leaker known as "Instant Digital" posted on Weibo that the foldable device's hinge is consistently failing to meet Apple's quality control standards under conditions of prolonged, high-frequency opening and closing.
Who could have seen this coming? Also, who asked for another foldable phone? Why do we need yet more stupid gimmicks.
The market asked for it.
Because money.
Not really a gimmick, foldable phones are awesome.
Apple is just naturally behind the curve and figuring out things other brands have already been doing for 6+ years.
Other brands have had crease-less foldables for 6+ years?
I love my Flip7. Had a flip since 2020. Don’t worry, John Apple will invent one soon.
Not sure why Apple didn’t license Samsung displays like every other time.
Stupid gimmicks are phones with >6" screens you can’t carry or store anywhere.
Flip phones are 3" squares you can carry easily.
