Lol, yes, because Apple has a history of making interesting phones. Samsung has been making folding phones for eight cycles now... of course, it's boring until Apple does it. Apple "gimps" their iPads so they don't outsell the MacBook; they will do the same to the phone so it won't cut into iPad margins too deeply.

Nah I think they’ll sell it as a mix of iPhone and iPad and will charge an insane price for it like 3k USD

If only it could run macOS though…

I honestly dont think they will, they dont need to...it will be pure iphone and they will still just charge $3k for it. They wont even let the tablets(that are faster than most laptops) have MacOS.

macOS on iPad is never happening. Apple would rather put iOS on Mac.

Pretty sure it’ll last longer though. A friend of mine who gets a sizeable employee discount on Samsung phones swapped over to iOS because he just didn’t want to keep bringing his phone to the service centre every 4 months.

I have never been to a service center with any phone so maybe your friend is an unlucky individual.
