A report came out today by the trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stating that Apple is currently in the planning stages for a foldable iPhone.

I'm not sure what kind of folding iPhone it would be, but I think I would be into it! If it was a 6.1-inch screen folded and then you could unfold it into an iPad-like display I would be all over it. If it's a 3-inch iPhone folded, and you unfold it into a regular iPhone, I'm not sure I would go crazy over it.

What do you guys think? Would you be into it?

I think folding smartphones are more of a gimmick than necessity.

I tend to agree. But an iPhone that can turn into an iPad would be awesome!

Apple probably wouldn't pursue that though, it may cannibalize their iPad sales.

That means that a more realistic route is a smaller iPhone, albeit thicker.

Maybe a better route would be an iPad 13-inch that folds into an iPad mini. You would get the best of both worlds!
