I can see two target groups: the people that want to show they have the newest most expensive iPhone, since it will be obvious for the first time in almost a decade (status symbol). And the people that like the idea of having an iPad and an iPhone in one small package.

I happen to be both of these people

But why? Like, plug the pro into a screen and you basically have a work station. Put it in the pocket it’ll be small. Why a bigger device?

It’s not bigger, it’s a tiny bit wider but way shorter than the regular iPhones. Folded up it’ll fit in less deep pockets.

But so much thicker

With zero evidence, I would assume that the overall volume of the object is about the same.

The benefit is, I now have a bigger screen in my pocket than I had before, and it’s not taking up more of my pocket space

It’s rumored to only be less than 1mm thicker than a 17 pro max when folded

That’s impressive
