We already had phablets. It was a wave, it crested, and it went away. How many people really want to bloody watch movies on their big ass fold out phone. It will still be impractically chunky to carry around. It will still take up too much space and weigh too much. It will still be way smaller than an iPad. People buy these things because they can't sleep at night if they don't have the latest thing. And then they all buy them and they don't use the features and everyone realizes it sucks and Apple makes a shitload of money and then people move on and forget about it. Rinse repeat.

i use ipad mini for reading and would get real use out of a smaller phone that is also a portable mini tablet but it looks like apple is fucking this up.
i don't want my phone to be prole maxx sized when in phone mode or in my pocket but i want something larger than any phone currently is for reading. foldable is the solution. i am also generally not a tech fag and i rarely buy new consumer tech, this would just provide real utility for me.
