Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Apple’s iOS 27 beta hints at a folding iPhone, because who doesn’t need a phone that can fold? The code references “foldable” and “folded” states, and a “screen angle” setting, because that’s exactly what was missing from our lives. This is not the first time Apple has explored folding devices. The question is, will it actually ship this time? Because, you know, innovation is just a rebrand of “we had this idea before, but now it’s new again”.
