The one-paragraph version

PocketFold is a $29, 3D-printed true-size model of the new foldable iPhone, built to the dimensions Apple published for the iPhone Duo: 84.1 × 117.8 × 11.3 mm closed and 164.6 × 117.8 × 5.2 mm open. It folds and opens flat, comes in Night Sky or Star White, and ships from the USA in 2–4 business days. It is a plain, unbranded slab with no electronics, made so people can do the pocket test and the one-handed test before spending $1,999 when pre-orders open October 16. It is made by two people and a printer, and it is not affiliated with Apple.
