Apple is prototyping a second new iPhone display, this one measuring around 6.4 inches, that could be destined for the 20th anniversary iPhone, according to a Chinese leaker. In a recent post on Weibo, the leaker known as “Digital Chat Station” said Apple is currently sampling two new display panels.

    Am I the only one who wants absolutely no part of the X2? This wraparound glass. Samsung tried it before. They don’t do it anymore.

    I’m also not interested in the Ultra. None of the folding phones appeal to me at all. I just see a potential point of failure.

    People want to complain about Sony taking away their digital purchases and saying they’re just renting their games, but look how many people line up to do so. And to “rent” iPhones. So you get this thing that will break, by design, in a couple years, so you have to get another one. Which you’ll want to do anyway since the only real innovation any smartphone has anymore is AI. They’re not making emailing, typing, or web browsing better. Those have all hit their apex (and can be improved with software). Any flagship from any brand from the last 5 years is basically still good enough today, assuming the hardware hasn’t broken down.

    But, they don’t care what I think — the phone I want is the one I have. I want that to last. My iPhone (16 Pro Max) is from 2024. My Android phone (Galaxy S10) is from 2019, and it still rocks. It’s mostly a cosplay prop now, but it’s also a music archive.

        I think it’s already broken if you’re folding your iPhone 11. It wasn’t designed to do that.

        Considering the only phones I was talking about being designed to break are foldables, I’m confused as to where you’re coming from. The iPhone 11 was not designed to fold, and, in fact, there is no currently released foldable iPhone on the market. So, what do you mean?

        Clearly you are far from being the average Apple consumer customer…

            42% of upgraded iPhones are >3 years old,

            What are the statistics for phones that are >= 6 years old, like you?

            hundreds of millions of 5+ year old iPhones in use

            How many of those are the primary devices, like you are claiming to be?

            iPhone users keep their phones longer than Android users.

            A better comparison would be iPhones vs high-end/flagship Android phones.
