You say '"Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected to have a book-like design that folds horizontally", to me a book has a vertical fold, not horizontal. Confused.
I get what you're saying. I think what they means is that something. like the Samsung Flip unfolds vertically to become taller, while like the Samsung Fold or iPhoneBook unfold horizontally to become wider.

I agree. The spine of the book (or book like design) is vertical, but the folding action happens from left to right, or horizontally. Kind of confusing wording...

Is this sarcasm?

Do you think Samsung has better trade in deals than apple?

Yep. When I ordered my Fold 6 it was 400€ off for trading in some old AF phone, 1 year Samsung Care Plus for free, free memory upgrade 512 GB for the price of the 256 GB version for a limited time, free case and you got X % off on Galaxy watch and Buds ordered at the same time and a free additional watch band on top
 
and not only do we think you're gonna love it! But your children can take over your device payments when you pass away!
Some people will pay it, most will not.
Does Apple accept your first born as payment? Not interested in a folding phone, I just want to unload a sassy teen.😙😁
 
I don't know how anyone would come away thinking this wouldn't be priced similar to the Galaxy Fold. 1799 starting for an apple device sounds about on par.

Cool. When I traded in my 12PM for my 15PM, they gave me $830. I think iphones hold their value better that will probably result in better trade in value for them.

I might be one of the few who would pay the price, but... They have to absolutely solve the crease issue. Like 100% solved. 5 years from buying it, I don't want a hint of a crease.
They will almost disappear don't worry its already happening, just look at the Honor Magic V3, the crease is almost non existent.

If (big if) they actually have the hinge and lay-flat glass/screen down, then the premium would be worth it.
