Taking it&#8217;s ideas from the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the iPhone XI Fold might look a bit more elegant.<\/p>\n<p>But watch for yourself:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-19989-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/iPhone-X-Fold-Trailer-Foldable-iPhone-11.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/iPhone-X-Fold-Trailer-Foldable-iPhone-11.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/iPhone-X-Fold-Trailer-Foldable-iPhone-11.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Interesting indeed. But there are some big question marks here: What didn&#8217;t work with the Galaxy Fold, should instantly work with the iPhone XI Fold? A completely corner-bent screen? No Way. So the totally-closed case is just a dream imho. The rest however seems feasible. The 3-eyed square camera module is not unlikely as it is shown in several design suggestions and even mockups for the upcoming iPhone 11.<\/p>\n<p>Also we see the same metal frame the iPhone X already has. Elegant and functional. It gives the iPhone X models a classy and worthy touch indeed. An interesting part might be the butterfly hinge mechanism in the center of the screen. And a little fauxpas the video has: The device rests centered in a docking station. This is most unlikely because the Lightning\/USB-C connector wouldn&#8217;t fit into the hinge at all. So the dock is either much wider housing a lightning connector to either the left or right of the unfurled device and on the opposing side a dummy rest so that the lightning plug is not exposed to any shearing stress. And last but not least there&#8217;s also the question about the weight of this device. An iPhone XS Max already kicks in with a whopping 208g. If the iPhone 11 Fold is as large as the iPhone XS Max, then it could become a real heavy device. A weight over 300g might be most likely. And also the question about battery run time will become an issue. The video shows 2 screens (one at the front most likely being as large as the one in the iPhone XS Max) and one large on inside which covers double the size.<\/p>\n<p>If we look at the resolutions, the iPhone XS Max comes with 2688&#215;1242 pixels. So even if Apple just goes 2688&#215;2484 pixels, theat&#8217;s a lot of MP to calculate. Apple will have to design a powerful GPU that can handle 2 screens simultaneously (to allow seamless switching) and if 120Hz is involved, the GPU should not need a lot of power as else the battery might go down in less than one day.<\/p>\n<p>But as initially written, this is a concept and far from being real. But the ideas are given and who knows, maybe Apple will surprise us indeed with an Apple iPhone XI Fold sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to new gadgets and releases, Apple is always in line for surprises.
