APPLE PLANS CLAMSHELL DESIGN FOR SECOND FOLDABLE IPHONE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is reportedly exploring a second foldable iPhone—a clamshell “flip” model—to complement an internally prototyped book-style foldable, following a dual-track strategy already used by rivals. The flip iPhone would emphasize portability and mainstream appeal, potentially offering a more accessible entry into foldables while Apple quietly tests designs, pricing, and iOS adaptations before committing to release.
