Leaker reveals how Apple will make the iPhone Fold’s internal display familiar to iPad users

Since the point of the iPhone Fold is to go from using an iPhone to using an iPad without having to switch devices, it would make sense for Apple to make the internal screen resemble an iPad screen as much as possible. That would call for Apple to use an aspect ratio for the iPhone Fold‘s internal display as close as possible to 4:3.

Using Google Translate, the post by Digital Chat Station says, “As mentioned before, Apple’s big folding device also has a customized ratio, almost 4:3. The purpose is to make the internal and external screens consistent and the software ecology to be in line with the iPad.” In other words, the leaker is saying that the iPad Fold’s internal screen would use apps designed for the iPad, not the iPhone.

Usually found right in the middle of the larger internal display where the screen folds, the crease has become less noticeable over the years although it still can ruin a foldable phone user’s experience with the device. Apple reportedly was holding back on releasing a foldable iPhone until it had a way of dealing with the crease. The liquid metal hinge is supposed to make the crease harder to see by making the internal display flatter when the phone is open. We will have to wait to see how much of the crease Apple has been able to get rid of.
