macOS Golden Gate Reveals Foldable iPhone UI in 4:3 Resizable Apps

Summary
macOS Golden Gate’s iPhone Mirroring now lets users freely resize iPhone apps, offering a practical preview of how Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone could work on 2:3 outer and 4:3 inner displays.
6.5-by-4.7-inch unfolded sizing makes Apple apps like Mail, Notes, Calendar, Safari and Weather expand into split-pane or desktop-like layouts, while the 3.3-by-4.7-inch outer view often feels cramped.
iOS 27 beta behavior still looks unfinished: Music’s navigation stretches incorrectly, Safari misses its full tab bar, and Control Center appears at the old size with blank space and cut-off controls.
Third-party App Store apps and even the Home Screen cannot yet resize, because apps need iOS 27 support before they adapt to the new aspect ratios.
The preview adds to growing foldable iPhone rumors by suggesting Apple is positioning the device as a productivity-focused, iPad mini-like phone.
