The "iFlip" iPhone

Is there anybody else out there that dreams of an iPhone flip-phone? The ease and compactness that has been lost to the trend of larger phones with larger screens still has a lot of appeal to a different segment of the iPhone population.


Am I crazy or are there others this appeals to? It certainly seems like a technological slam dunk.

iPhone SE, iOS 10.3.3

I can't see it ever happening. Unless this flip phone were huge, you'd have no choice but to open it to an, at best, half size screen. It's either that, or a split screen on each side of the hinge designed as a multi-monitor setup so the desktop ran across from one to the other panel as a single desktop. That puts an obvious split across everything. Web pages, games, apps, etc.

Appears that some have wanted a bent-wood iPhone. After buying a new large

iPhone, now have some evidence of great mental powers; to so convert theirs.

Unexpected developments may come from those with great minds.

Or those who carried & bent larger iPhone inside the back pocket. 😝
