    I’m really afraid to say it, but I’m really dreading the folding iPhone because I bet they gatekeep the highest performance chip in that model and have the air/pros be the new base model. I have just so little desire for a folding phone, especially since it’s going to be smaller than the Samsung and Chinese folds.


  • It’s for people that think the base iPhone is not performant enough, but don’t care about cameras on the pros. I briefly considered the Air, but was turned away by the less powerful processor vs the pro. For me, the camera is the least important feature on a phone, and if this had the same processing capabilities over the pro, I’d get the air solely because it’s cheaper than the pro. The air is literally a way for Apple to move people up the pricing ladder past the base models (especially now that the plus phones are gone).
