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.
The one and only upside I can see to a foldable phone is that it might finally be able to thwart my shitty superpower of always being able to accidentally unlock my phone in my pocket and pocket dial people or pocket open apps or pocket close browser tabs.
Long press on the desired app and select ’require face ID’.
I did that for calls and texts after butt dialing my manager while partying
You can carry a flip in any pocket and sit down.
I think I might purchase. My iPhone Mini 12 battery is… and Apple isn’t… and folded it’s right under the iPhone Mini size. I don’t care about the fold, I just want a small phone and there’s not competition for a flagship. I’m worried the screen will destroy itself within a few years though.
