Now, two decades because they hit peak popularity they are back – with Apple rumors to work on his first flip phone.

Little is known about how the new device will see. It could morehow up more on Samsung's FLIP DESIGN – Closer to a 2000-style clamshell phone – if it is Foldmore than a convable iPad.

The rectangular tablet has been a headbraary for the last 15 years but could be apple laws on the Flip phone a sign that is about to change?

Tech experts told the guardian that the new product is likely to use that people use their phones to access the Internet, instead of laptops, and look for a device that optims that experience.

“Apple and all the other smartphone makers are some stems through the fact that the smartphone is what words, but it has daily big thing,” said wood, an analyst on the Tech Consultancy CCS Insight.

This is why Apple has reached for new designers who can speak people – for example, the ultra-thin iPhone, expected to be launched in September.

He thinks Apple enters the folding market as other companies first have experiment. Samsung's initial Galaxy FUS Designs were spoiled by screen problems, but the Galaxy fold 7 is expected to represent the “next generation” of fashionable phones.

But he thinks apple producing a sufficient mini-tablet is the most beautiful human tablet, to show the opportunity, showing them and showing documents when working when you work for a distance.

If the screen is not visible, it removes the “Variable Reward” – the same process that works gambling addiction, causing you will not get a reward. “If you can disable it, more than a laptop, that district,” he said, though he still noticed that people are containing that way.

This can be special for children, who receive average 200 notifications – although the high price of the sufficientness that have a lot of access to their parents for the second hand models.

Prof David Ellis, the chair of behavioral science at the University of Bath, added that other drawing and fit in a smaller pocket, like the “feeling nostalgia that comes with a flip phone”.

But he may not add it may not be the Gamechang People expect: Apple does not have “100% Success Family – the Vision pro [headset] has been a spectacular failure “.
