6 Reasons Why Apple Needs to Build a Clamshell iPhone Flip (And 1 Reason It Shouldn't) - Yanko Design

When folded, it's roughly the size of the Mini, maybe even smaller depending on how thick the hinge is. When unfolded, you get a full 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch display, same as the regular iPhone or Pro Max. The people who loved the Mini weren't asking for a smaller screen, they were asking for a phone that didn't dominate their pocket or require two hands for basic tasks. A clamshell gives them that portability without forcing them to squint at a 5.4-inch display.

The crux of Apple's pitch is simple: The company says it doesn't sell data to third-party distributors and it doesn't share your data for marketing purposes.

iPhone users discover a secret design element hidden in the clock app

Normally, the icon on the home screen shows the second hand smoothly gliding around the clock face. However, when an iPhone is in Low Power Mode, the second hand begins ticking around the clock instead. 'Wait... the Clock icon on iOS ticks like quartz watch in low power mode and mechanical in normal mode???' said @ShishirShelke1. 'That's ridiculous attention to detail.' His discovery has amazed iPhone users, although many pointed out that this probably wasn't a design decision by Apple.
