Here’s why I want a foldable iPad before a tri-fold smartphone
I'm a fan of foldable devices, and I thought the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 concept (pictured above) was exciting when I first saw it last week. While the Tecno phone will not get a commercial release, Huawei is about to launch a similar phone of its own.
The Chinese handset vendor will challenge the iPhone 16 launch event by holding a press event on the same day. The Huawei Mate XT will reportedly feature a 10-inch screen and cost about $4,000. It'll likely only be available in China initially.
Now that I've had more time to consider it, I've changed my mind. Yes, these tri-fold phones will be amazing feats of engineering, packing sophisticated components that let you turn a traditional phone into a 10-inch tablet. They're exciting because the companies making them will come up with many innovations that will be useful elsewhere.
I would not want to use a tri-fold foldable, however. You know what would be even cooler than that? A foldable iPad that could double as an iPhone.
