I still feel this form factor is better suited for an ipad type device. I get there is a market for foldables, but just seems like a foldable phone isn't something most people will want (or need). Not to mention the fact that they are still much less durable than normal phones, but I am sure carriers will have large discounts to try and get people on board.

Who keeps asking Apple for an even thinner iPhone with worse battery life? I’ve never met anyone with those requirements.

Apple did so they can go back to selling the phone AND a battery case (since rumors point to them bringing back the battery case). People are going to be tethered to outlets/portable chargers even more than they already are with this new design. Plus, it is crazy they are rumored to be charging top dollar for a mid tier (at best) spec'd phone. Android OEM's produce phones with huge batteries (and more than one camera) while still keeping it relatively thin. Apple has the air looking like an old moto droid X with the huge camera bump at the top while claiming "thin"
