I Want iOS 27 To Give Us These Features That'd Be Perfect for a Foldable iPhone
Key takeaways
- Apple is all set to host its yearly Worldwide Developer Conference next week, where it is expected to announce the long-awaited Siri update.
- I say this because i Phones have trailed behind their Android counterparts in true multitasking capabilities.
- According to a Bloomberg report, Apple's foldable iPhone will feature an "iPad-like interface when opened." It could support running two apps side-by-side and add sidebars to many apps.
Apple is all set to host its yearly Worldwide Developer Conference next week, where it is expected to announce the long-awaited Siri update. As excited as I am for the smart assistant to finally work like it was supposed to all these years, the i OS 27 sneak peek could potentially confirm Apple's next big launch: the foldable i Phone Ultra.
I say this because i Phones have trailed behind their Android counterparts in true multitasking capabilities. Sure, they have a Dynamic Island that pops up crucial information with a press-and-hold without leaving the current app. But it isn't the same as running multiple apps side-by-side simultaneously or one app on top of another. Such use cases are crucial for big-screen foldable phones or even big slab phones for that matter. This iOS limitation is one of the reasons I believe the 6.9-inch screen estate on Pro Max models isn't utilized to its full potential. But this might change at next week's WWDC.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple's foldable iPhone will feature an "iPad-like interface when opened." It could support running two apps side-by-side and add sidebars to many apps. We've never had an iPhone running multiple apps on the screen simultaneously, and if Apple demos such an instance at WWDC 26, it'll likely point towards the launch of an iPhone with a larger screen - hopefully, one that folds.
