Whether it ends up being called the iPhone Flip or iPhone Fold, or something else entirely different from the rumors, there’s clearly a lot at stake with Apple’s presumably first foldable iPhone. There’s still a long road ahead before its debut, and while the latest leaks indicate Apple’s investing heavily into a "nearly invisible" crease, I really hope it’s putting in the same amount of resources to build out another, equally important feature.
I’m referring to how it would handle the task of multitasking, which I think is critical for any notebook-style foldable phone. On one hand, Apple could simply replicate how it does multitasking on its iPads. But after seeing what its competition has achieved, Apple can’t afford to ignore developing an entirely new system that makes more sense for an iPhone.
