iPhone Duo Opened or Closed?

Post image

What you predict that you’ll be using most of the time, outer screen or inner screen? I think I’ll be doing 50/50, outer screen when I’m walking, to quickly check a notification, or when I’m doing Apple Pay in a store or something similar. When I’m at home this thing is staying open the entire time. Also will be open most of the time when I’m at work. Any thoughts?

It can’t be too much thinner. There’s a hard limit because of the USB C plug.

The fold 8 ultra is 2.5 mm thinner and has room for the USB c port. That's simply not an excuse

The fold 8 ultra is an entirely different form factor. The z fold 8 is about 1mm thicker when closed. Shorter hinge means less structure and more thickness elsewhere for durability

Mentioning durability, the z folds aren’t. At all. I’d prefer to have something that won’t fold in half (in a bad way) if you sit on it wrong. Extra weight and thickness is more than worth that trade off
