Could this be a cheaper Fold model for ? As soon as the iPhone SE was announced, rumours started circulating about a larger model. With the iPhone SE essentially taking the iPhone 8 body, there's those wondering if a Plus model will be launched to slot into the iPhone 8 Plus space.

With the new iPhone 12 mini costing much more than the SE, will Apple fill this cheap-but-big gap? The iPhone 12 has only just launched, but we're already hearing that Apple might be looking at an under-display Touch ID system.

Knowing Apple, the design of the new iPhone would take the same design as the 12, but will it reduce the notch on that display? Xiaomi has shown off a number of folding prototypes in the past, but now there's talk that the company is looking to source components from Samsung Display.

It's believed that Xiaomi is interested in producing a folding phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. There's also been some code discovered in MIUI hinting at a future folding phone.

The company's mobile decline began with the rise of the iPhone's far more intuitive iOS, and was cemented over several Microsoft software releases that failed to compete with Apple and Google's rapidly maturing Android OS.

Despite radically redesigning its OS and even buying Nokia's phone business , Windows for phones never achieved the features or apps that Android and iPhone had.

Windows phones are no longer supported. Should we count out a Surface phone that runs Windows for good? From what Microsoft is saying, yes.

But the fact that we're even seeing a new Microsoft device with a cellular voice connection at all is a sign that the company's mobile ambitions aren't as dead as we once thought.

And while the prospect of a future Windows phone remains extremely unlikely, when it comes to the shifting, cutthroat phone world, this upcoming Microsoft Android phone suggests that really, anything could happen.

Even productivity isn't a given for that long, in terms of collaboration with others. Microsoft Teams has now effectively been axed for W10M , while Slack is a pale shadow of its client on other platform and is based on middleware.

Third party applications offer viewing of Google Documents, but there's no way to do collaborative editing. In summary, most - but not all - of what you have today under Windows 10 Mobile will still work in , but you shouldn't expect much in terms of updates or improvements.

All of the above notwithstanding, however you or I choose to navigate the world of sometimes failing services, there's a bigger issue here that needs acknowledging and it's not software-related.

Microsoft stopped manufacturing Lumia phones mid and so any Lumia or range handsets are already at least two years old as I write this.

By , the hardware will be five years old and falling apart, even with careful use. The most recent hardware is the Wileyfox Pro, low end but flexible, and this is very much still sold , though I expect this to be out of stock by the end of In the Android or iOS worlds, there's a never ending supply of new hardware.

If you can't re-buy or get repaired what you already have, in the event of failure, then you buy a newer model, there are always options. But the options run out with Windows 10 Mobile hardware.

It's already almost impossible to get a Lumia repaired or to buy an official spare battery and it's only going to get harder. Take a Lumia say to a phone repair shop in and they'll look at you as if it's from another planet.

In fairness, the Lumia range at least are trivial to take apart, thanks to the back cover coming off, to loads of Torx screws, etc. So a DIY repair isn't out of the question - if you can find a source for any spare parts needed.

But I think we're squarely in the area of 'hobbyist repairs' here, meaning that it'll be hard to trust a Lumia as a main phone in purely because it's hard to instantly replace or repair it if it gets dropped and broken.

The one glint of hope in all this has been that Microsoft would return to the mobile fold - literally - with a folding phablet, the legendary Andromeda project.

But surely this will be out in in some form, making this article a little less painful. Not all carriers support eSIM.
