This is really weird design.

It looks like they’ve taken an iPad Mini and made it foldable with an extra display for when it’s closed?

I like the look and size of it when open; it essentially replaces the Mini. But I can’t think of a reasonable use case for a “passport sized” device that’s got the 2D dimensions as a passport but the thickness of a mid-sized paperback. And that screen becomes an outer surface… so it’s going to get dinged up a LOT.

    That's literally every single phone in existence right now....

    It's 2.5mm thicker folded, than a regular iPhone pro is.

    Yeah that was the idea.
