About this listen

Rumors and renders of a foldable iPhone are starting to feel more serious, but does that mean it’s something worth buying? In this episode of Tek With Josh, I break down why Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold could be a major moment for the company, and why I personally wouldn’t buy one at launch.

Drawing from experience using both Apple devices and foldable phones, I talk through Apple’s history with first-generation products, the real-world tradeoffs of foldables, and why price, battery life, durability, and software maturity matter more than form factor hype.

This isn’t an anti-Apple take. It’s an honest look at what a first-gen iPhone Fold would likely offer, who it might actually be for, and why waiting could be the smarter move.

In this episode:

Why Apple entering the foldable market is a big statement

Apple’s track record with first-generation hardware

Foldable phone tradeoffs: battery, cameras, durability, and software

Why price could be the biggest barrier to adoption

Why I won’t be buying the first iPhone Fold

Who a foldable iPhone might actually make sense for
