They'll wait a few years for the foldable tech to become better then release their own and call it the first in true Apple fashion lol

I have a feeling that you are right, I sense it will come eventually. How do you think this will impact the need for an iPad though? If my iPhone went to an iPad-like size, I would have zero desire to own an iPad. I don't see them wanting to eliminate one of their most popular products. Perhaps they would just get rid of the smaller iPads and only have the giant ones for sale and let the iPhone take care of the smaller sizes.
Yeah, I think the iPad mini is kinda dead anyway. They'll probably move all iPads to a standard size like this year's Pro's. There will still be the Mini, Regular, and Pro max models of the phones. They'll probably add in the Folable iPhone device right in the middle there to create some kind of demand for those few people that liked the iPad mini. I also fully expect them to go port-less by the time they drop a foldable.
I would love it if they enabled the Apple Pencil to work with an iPhone. I would buy on in a heartbeat, but the screen would also need to be big enough for that to make sense... In comes the foldable phone to make it work.
I dread the no ports, but then again maybe cords are pointless and I'm just used to something that is truly becoming obsolete. As long as they give me a viable alternative I'm okay. Airdrop works really well for transferring files for instance. Wireless charging is fine too, they just need to let us have fast charging wirelessly as other devices can do.
Oh yeah it would make sense for the Pencil to be compatible with the potential Foldable. As far as ports go.... I feel like until wireless charging becomes truly wireless charging (like Near Field Communication), no ports is a no-go. But Apple does have a way of dealing with people being skeptical about changes. Just fuckin do it anyway like when they killed the headphone jack. People complained but got over it. Now it's a standard.
Yea, if they pull the plug on ports too early that could cause issues with many of their loyal fans. They already had to revert on that with Macbook Pros.
And they will sell it for a lot of money. Just like everything else they release.
