Foldable iPhone Ignores the Fold with Wider Horizon

The foldable iPhone hasn’t hit the markets yet, but rumors already suggest a similar ambition brewing within Samsung, and now Honor appears to be on the same track. According to Huawei Central, Honor might be replacing the next foldable model in the Magic Vs line with a device offering a different aspect ratio. Interestingly, insiders hint at a broader interest in media consumption driving this shift. An industry expert noted that the shift towards wider screens, like those rumored for the iPhone Fold, could reshape user experience by enhancing video playback capabilities. This aligns with emerging trends spotted across several manufacturers.

Insiders claim the iPhone Fold, as leaked, will be shorter and noticeably wider compared to other book-format foldables. The principal display will reportedly have an aspect ratio close to 4:3, making it ideally suited for video playback over current offerings.

No further details about the device have surfaced yet. However, Wangzai Knows Everything, a reliable insider quoted by the source, also mentions that Honor has no plans to release a compact foldable smartphone this year. This likely refers to a clamshell model, a segment which saw considerable attention with the launch of Huawei Mate X3, as previously accurately predicted by the same insider.
