If this report is true, (a huge IF) a folding iPhone would be the first major design change since 2007 and the original 4GB iPhone. Yes, Apple has lost it, they've been riding the Ghost of Steve Jobs influence ever since. 

You should learn how to read a financial report. Apple Services--a division that didn't exist while Jobs was alive--is now Apple's crown jewel, producing 33% more revenue at the higest profit margins than the Mac and iPad businesses COMBINED. Meanwhile, the Wearables division--also not in existence while Jobs was alive--generates about 50% more revenue than either Macs or iPads. So much for "riding the Ghost of Steve Jobs." And even what is arguably the crown jewel of Steve's creations--the iPhone--is WAY more successful now than it ever was while Steve was alive... as is Apple, as an overall company. The iPhone X--which was Apple's defining leap into the mobile phone future--didn't debut until six years after Steve's death. Meanwhile, Samsung has been in the foldable screen phone business for the past four years and it remains barely a pimple on the butt of mobile phone sales. But yeah, Apple should definitely be rushing to get its share of that nothing burger or it is doomed!
