Briefings
Nicole Nguyen, a Wall Street Journal contributor, tested the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Fold in phone mode, describing it as heavier and wider than competitors. She found the device difficult to use one-handed, noting hand strain and limited reach for camera flash and typing. While acknowledging some users can manage two-handed use, Nguyen suggests the current design prioritizes two-handed operation and recommends waiting for future models that fold more compactly.
