It definitely handled really well and I agree that crease will be gone by next year as you can barely feel it on this one.
The folding iPhone is the natural evolution of the category. It will be the most important hardware upgrade since the debut of the iPhone.
I disagree. The folding iPhone will fill a niche at the expensive end of the product lineup. They might become moderately popular for a while, but I'm confident they won't become mainstream.
Really? I reckon the Mini is the best iPad because it’s the only one not pretending to be something it’s not.
The mini is the worst iPad, and its entire history indicates so. It sells the worst of all the iPads, has languished multiple times in its life with rumors of being discontinued. But most importantly, it is too small to be used as a tablet. Devices need to hit certain sizes in order to have specific utility, and a tablet needs to be around 10" or larger before it can be used as a tablet. Smaller than that and its just an awkward, oversized phone.
That may be the case, but nonetheless it is too small to be useful. I had one because I like the concept, but I ended up replacing it as soon as I could because it was only useful in very specific circumstances. The way my life has gone, I’m even further away from those circumstances than ever, and I’m looking forward to a 13” iPad.
Jobs has been dead for over a decade. It's Cook's show. Cook has now been CEO longer than Jobs was.
Mine gets all sorts of use. It's the perfect size for reading novels and magazines on. It makes a great small stereo around the house and at hotels. It takes up almost zero space in luggage so is perfect for watching some movies on a flight or outputting to a larger display. I find web browsing better than a phone due to the larger display and I can even write comfortably on it using two thumbs in portrait. Its the only computer I'd ever comfortably carry in a satchel, my back not being what it once was.
Yes a lot of people sleep on the iPad Mini, but I love mine. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m trying to run my 15PM battery down to 79%, I would be using my iPad Mini 7 much more these days. I read my Kindle books and browse social media on it some easily. It was the perfect size for our road trip when we went on vacation.
I’m (sincerely) glad it works well for you, they’re great little devices.
Listen here, it's simply not true and I can't stand ignorance and misinformation to a post like this. I've owned a foldable now for over a year. A Vivo X Fold 3 Pro chinese edition, i'm living in Canada. Extremely cold here in the winter for 4-6 months of the year. Use it for business and personal use, I'm a heavy user, not moderate user, i use this for everything, its my laptop, camera and music listening device, taking notes on it on the inner screen and using the camera for photos for my construction site inspections, its been in dusty enviroments and folding and unfolding in outdoor winter days, hinge and the internal part mechanisms have been flawless. They say you cant replace the internal film screen protector on the inner larger screen but i have changed mine once already to a matte screen protector and encountered no problems. I went for a walk a few weeks ago with my dog one night and had the phone folded in my hand and the leash in the other hand, my dog seen a cat she wanted to chase and bolted as i wasn't paying attention and out flew the phone in my hand falling at least 3.5 ft onto cement curb and into a puddle of water on concrete. I picked it up from the water face up unfolded and thought it was wrecked. Came back home to better look at it and none of the screens had damage, it turned on fine front and back screens, ran to the sink to rinse off the debris and small stones, towel dried it. I analyzed it under bright lights while closed it and checked the perimeter frame and covers for scratches. To my surprise i only had a nick corner edge of the front face screen corner edge and some small nicks on the hinge cover, all small cosmetic scars, no biggy. I had a carbon fiber back case cover with no hinge protection or front protection whatsoever. The build quality of the foldable is a tank, they are not fragile devices that need to be babied, believe me. I lived with it for over a year, no disappointments or regrets, its performed every time i used it. For anyone saying well, good for you why are you here. I've owned every Iphone Max model buying new ones every September for many years past. I can say this is the first device i owned i havent looked back or thinking now i want to sell it, its still satisfying my work needs and personal needs. Also have a look at the pictures of the results of the drop on concrete and the damage it sustained.
