Rumor suggests Apple will market foldable iPhone to younger audiences

The other form factor tested, and one that Apple would have favored using, is a flip-style foldable similar to the Motorola Razr and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. This design would allow an iPhone to fit securely in a pocket until needed; at this point, the unit opened to reveal a large-screen iPhone. Today, prognosticator Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech seconded something that we had mentioned in a previous story and in the first line of this paragraph; namely that Apple is leaning towards the clamshell flip design for the foldable iPhone. If this is true, we might find the world a little less tense and angry. After all, hanging up on a call by slamming the phone releases anger and tension.

Prosser’s sources couldn’t give him a reason why Apple chose one foldable design over the other, but said the clamshell form factor was getting most of Apple’s attention (and we would also assume Foxconn). The tipster said Apple is looking to offer its foldable flapper in a variety of colors. And it won’t be just any color. Prosser calls them “fun colors,” which is reminiscent of the more vibrant hues of the iPhone 12 models compared to the iPhone 12 Pro. This suggests that Apple will target its flip phone at a younger audience who might suffer after buying GameStop for $ 300 and selling it for $ 60. In other words, these potential buyers might not be loaded with money. That doesn’t mean Apple will give away the phone, but it could be tagged with a lower price than expected. If you remember how Polaroid marketed its Swinger camera in the mid-1960s, Apple might take the same tact and market the “iPhone Flip” to the younger generation. Apple tried a similar campaign with Apple’s iPhone 5c, which comes in blue, green, pink, yellow and white.
