You might be asking yourself, “Why would I need to upgrade my iPhone to a monitor?” We totally get it. How many people actually use this? But if we look at it from the perspective of Apple – a company that obsesses over details and plans years ahead, then it kind of makes sense. This is not some random feature. This is a test drive.
According to the latest leaks, it will have iPhone Fold 7,8-inch internal display. To give you an idea, that's almost the same size as the older iPad mini. When folded, it will behave like a classic iPhone, but once you open it, it turns into a compact "tablet" that will want to multitask. And a lot. We already know that Stage Manager on the iPad is a great thing, so why not iPhone Fold shouldn't he have too?

This is on Applu fascinating, when he tests something, he doesn't do it halfway. Stage Manager-like environment for external displays in iOS 19 makes sense precisely because it will be used by a very narrow group of users. But Apple It's not so much about the group now. He's mainly concerned with the data. How it behaves, what needs to be fine-tuned. And next year, when it comes iPhone Fold, everything will be ready.
if Apple is planning something really big, then they will definitely unveil it at their developer conference WWDC, which is already outside the door. Maybe there is still iPhone Fold we won't see it in all its glory, but miniat least hints. And maybe more. One thing is certain, if Apple will release multitasking for iPhone this year, it will be the first signal that "something is coming".

We don't have any official confirmation yet, but from well-informed sources it looks very promising. Apple It doesn't want to follow the competition's path, instead it's preparing its own way to accommodate a foldable device. And instead of releasing a phone and then tweaking the system, it's doing the exact opposite. Software first, hardware second. Smartly.
