Which is more appealing to you – an iPhone Fold or an iPhone Flip? [Poll]

Introduction

When the first rumors of a folding iPhone emerged, we didn’t know which of the two possible formats Apple was planning: an iPhone Fold or an iPhone Flip.

It later became clear that what we’re expecting to be launched first is a book‑style iPhone Fold. However, there are signs that we may get both…

iPhone Fold vs iPhone Flip

There are two possible form factors for a folding smartphone, colloquially known as a Fold and a Flip.

• Fold – Roughly the same size as existing iPhones when folded and unfolds into a display size close to that of the iPad mini. Production plans for this model are believed to be well advanced, moving into engineering validation & testing last year, with around 100 prototypes manufactured.
• Flip – A clamshell design that folds down into a very pocketable device, about half the height and width of existing iPhones. It mimics the iconic Motorola Razr dumb‑phone.

Which is more appealing to you?

At this point we don’t know whether Apple plans to ever make an iPhone Flip. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said only that the company is considering it. A subsequent report says that the company has tested one, although the comment was vague and could refer to anything from a rough engineering prototype to a more finished model.

It is, however, at least possible that at some point we will be able to choose between an iPhone Fold and an iPhone Flip. Assuming this is the case, which of the two form factors has the greatest appeal for you?
