I suspect its main purpose is not to be a product in its own right but a tech demo of half the thickness of a folding iPhone when it arrives. Being a niche product for early adopters and fashion victims to be seen with is a secondary purpose.

I still can't quite believe Apple is going down the folding route, despite all the speculation.
I can't explain, it feels like such an non-Apple move...
