Apple might be working on a new iPhone that folds like a flip phone. While many are waiting for the book-style iPhone Fold, reports say Apple is also thinking about a smaller, clamshell-style model. The company is said to be testing this idea in its labs.
According to the source, Apple is exploring a square, clamshell-like iPhone. He did not share a launch date and warned that the phone might never come out. Apple will likely first see how customers respond to the larger book-style Fold.
The flip-style iPhone has been rumored for years. Some reports say Apple has at least two prototypes ready. At one point, people expected the clamshell model to come before the book-style Fold.
A video from over three years ago shows what a flip-style folding iPhone might look like. For now, it is unclear if or when Apple will release this device.
