Technology reporter Gurman wrote that Apple’s (AAPL.O) foldable iPhone, which is expected to launch this fall, will update the iOS operating system to enable an iPad-like interface layout for the first time. According to people familiar with the matter, the product will be equipped with a built-in foldable display roughly the size of an iPad mini. It will also be equipped with an external screen comparable in size to the display of a smaller iPhone. Its internal display will adopt a widescreen aspect ratio, differing from the narrow-screen format of foldable phones currently on the market. People familiar with the matter said this will be a key selling point. Apple’s design is intended to make the device more appealing for watching videos. At the same time, developers will also be able to redesign iPhone applications more easily, bringing them closer to the operating experience of iPad software.
