THE SHIFT

JOHN-ANTHONY DISOTTO thinks Apple will win over the foldable smartphone market as soon as it starts selling an iPhone/iPad hybrid device

- 

I’VE COMPLETELY FALLEN IN love with the foldable smartphone this year, yet no matter how much I try to fully convert to the hybrid format, I can’t quite leap away from iOS.

You see, I’m an iPhone user through and through. I’ve used Apple smartphones since I was 14 years old, and now, 16 years later, I’m still fully devoted to the ecosystem. That said, over the last few years, Apple’s attempts at innovation feel far more like iteration, and I’ve slowly started to get bored of the same old candybar format.

Luckily, the perpetual rumors of a foldable iPhone to rival the likes of Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 flagship have been heating up over the last few months, and I don’t think I’ll have much longer to wait before I can switch between an iPhone and an iPad mini-style display on the go.
