If this device is that far along, then if Apple was smart, they would use the next 7 months to ramp up production.  Maybe have it come out the same way the iPhone X did.

Back in 2017, the primary iPhone for that year was iPhone 8 series, but Tim Cook being the carnival barker that he is told they had one more thing to show us. 

They could repeat that pattern again this year.  Show off the iPhone 17 series and then tell us they have one more thing to show us.  While the 17's could come out in September, they could have a delayed launch for the iPhone Fold.  Just like the X, have it pre-order in October and launch in November.

It seems like apple has copied Oppo Find N2 or google and claim to be innovative and different, exactly the same as the Find N2 with a different camera set up, whos STEALING tech now american senators.

Btw will apple sue Oppo for design infringement? 

This is sounding a lot like a design that flips the aspect ratio script and we'll have a small sqare device that opens into a more tablet 16:9 or 16:10 ratio rather than just stubby like Find N2 or Pixel Fold 1. 

Identical, but different? That's not what "identical" means.

"whatever that means" – I know what it means: Ricci Rox cannot acknowledge that Apple is not always original and bends over backwards in logic-gymnastics to avoid it.

Well mate, I just report the news eh?

For brevity's sake, though, the source really just claims the Apple foldable will be identical to the Find N series. Could share similarities with the Pixel Fold as well, but with an entirely different display aspect ratio.

The aspect ratio and how small the screens are, are the interesting bits here.
