That’s not true at all, there are folding phones that are the same thickness as a regular phone when folded. And they don’t compromise on battery life, like the Honor Magic v3. And Apple isn’t a stranger to making things smaller than the competition on the mac side of things.

I have iPhone mini now and I’m more interested in horizontal folding than vertical.
An iPhone mini trifold would be my dream phone.
but it’ll also be twice a thick.
