What do you mean? I went to a samsung store and tried fold 6, especially the pdf part. But haven't bought one because it's android and my 13 mini is still new by my standards.
Got a tip for us?

Oh yes, and all the other variations of ‘if I do[n’t] like it then it is[n’t] good’…
$2,000.00+?!
Or, you could purchase 64 TCL Flip Pro "folding" phones for $30.00/each from Amazon.

But but but everyone on MacRumors insisted this was a niche product!! smh
Well it is. Next time you are out in a public, take note of what phones people are using and see if a single one of them has a folding phone. Personally, I have yet to see a folding phone out in the wild, and I travel often.
It will be a niche product, just like every other foldable. I can go days or weeks without seeing anyone with a foldable, and I work with a lot of very high-earning people.
There is nothing wrong with it being niche. It's not for me, and I personally don't think smartphones are useful enough to be priced $1200+, foldable or otherwise, but many people do. A small set of those people will spend $2000+ on a phone.
Apple seriously needs to implement No Returns unless defective for this foldable. That will limit the amount of low rate “influencers” buying it, reviewing it and then returning it.
Then I would invite you to travel to SW Florida. I see one or two a week here, and I've been mostly working from home so don't get out as much right now
I doubt it will lack FaceID; if the future iPhone Air can integrate it in such a thin device, so will the foldable.
Beeing the flagship Apple device it can't lack one of fundamental features of modern iPhones.
At the same time I see a problem with the location of the FaceID camera.
Where do you put it to be ale to use it both folded and unfolded?

Honestly i think it will sell pretty bad at 2k. 1499 starting price seems more in line with pushing the new tech to people. I think they know how bad the headset they made is selling with its price and wont make another bad decision on pricing for something new.
I predict the complaints will be the lack of software features for multitasking/ multi-windows.
There are already really excellent folding phones available. Apple seemingly not content with poaching ideas secondhand, now it'll be fourthhand by the time Apple turn up - and knowing Apple, v1 will be swiftly replaced by the next 'amazing' thing. Anyway, as Apple fold is released, other phone cameras optical zooms will be hitting 20x, and no bump. Apple users can expect that in another 10 years.
I do see that one popping up from time to time already, so yeah, that’s going to be a popular one, I think.
How long do you reckon it will be for someone to complain that they can’t run macOS on it?
