But you don’t need to wait three or four more years to envision a mouth-watering iPhone Fold (or Flip), especially after two random dudes over in China made such a device happen and filmed themselves in the process for the whole world to see.
The end result of this herculean effort is surprisingly functional and natural-looking… for what’s essentially a Frankensteinian monster that you’d have probably never expected to come to life for even a split second.
While the Chinese YouTuber and evidently immensely talented engineer behind this wild project admits his frustration with the many failings during the “iPhone V” preparation pushed him on the verge of quitting multiple times, the device is an undeniable success despite its very obvious flaws.
Does the “world’s first foldable iPhone” bend as naturally as a Razr or Samsung Galaxy Z Flip? Absolutely not. Will it survive daily unfolding and folding action for a reasonable amount of time? We highly doubt that given all of the work that went into making an actual commercial iPhone display fold in the first place, which clearly had an adverse effect on its durability.
