What is a 'foldable phone'?

A foldable phone is a smartphone with a flexible screen that can bend or fold, often making the device more compact or providing a larger display when unfolded. Apple's rumoured foldable iPhone would be a significant design shift, moving away from the traditional rigid smartphone form factor and potentially offering new ways to interact with the device.
