For me at least the screen size isn’t the limiting factor the lack of a keyboard is. I don’t know why I’d choose this device over a Neo or Air + non-folding phone.

You can pair a Bluetooth keyboard to any iPhone or iPad.

This, for instance, combines a battery and compact physical kb https://www.clicks.tech/products/powerkeyboard

Mentions of the resizable iOS apps seem to signal a desktop dock mode, which ties into your concern.

We know Apple is bringing a folding iPhone through manufacturing leaks. A desktop mode is less likely to be leaked, since it would be mostly software and (a lot) less reliant on third parties.

> a desktop dock mode

This needs to come to ALL iPhones. You plug in a usb c cable to your monitor and bang, iPad Neo.

But Apple being Apple will software block it...

I doubt it (though I would love this as well). FTA:
