Apple’s foldable iPhone could miss the best tricks of its tablet experience

Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone could borrow several ideas from the iPad. The larger screen real-estate can open doors to more interactions and features, but it might not match the full tablet experience that many expect.

Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter suggests that that first foldable iPhone will feature an iPad-like interface when unfolded. It may offer a true split-screen multitasking experience on its main display, which is something currently limited to iPads and other large-screen devices.

However, the similarities might stop there.
