An iPad Mini (with no bezel) in your pocket. Plus a clamshell version that minimizes the footprint in your pocket. How people don't understand the appeal of folding smartphones is beyond me.
In the dust. Look at the last quarter revenue.
Lol I wasn’t talking about financial performance. Nobody can beat Apple “coming soon, screen to be sold separately” Inc at the profit margins game. Funny though that that’s suddenly all that matters to you lot (but only when apple is winning at something, naturally)

Until they can eliminate the crease in the display I'm not interested. No way am I going back to a plastic display.
Not when these phones all run janky android os. Im sure you are on the wrong forums, either that or Apple took a dump in your coffee at some point.
Lol I didn’t realize membership rules included undying loyalty to every single detail of every single product apple makes. Is that really what you want, an echo chamber where everyone just agrees with you on everything?
Android OS is not janky and you saying that just clarifies that you haven’t really had any real experience with it over the last few years. Just reading off a script are we
A foldable phone combines a phone and a tablet. One less device to carry around, one less device to charge. That is why I want one.
Yep exactly. I’ve gone through like 5 different iPads in the past two years, each time realizing it’s really just a big iPhone running a dumb OS (for the screen space).
This foldable pixel really solves two problems at once: 1) far more flexible OS, 2) as you said, combining two products. No amount of handoff or iCloud sync can beat the concept of both being the same device
You're old school. Everyone else hates 16:9 ratio and prefer being able to watch multiple video streams or video stream plus split screen multitasking something else or just bigger screen for productivity.
I don't agree with that. I would rather carry a foldable phone than an iPad and a phone, which is what I travel with now.
What a delusional fanboy you are. Samsung's second gen is already doing it right. But hey, you keep paying like the good sheep you are. Totally disregarding that Apple's stuff would be even worth less if Samsung wouldn't be the screen supplier. Grow up.
Foldable's are not the future, rollable's are coming from several vendors
Exactly! It’s the stupidest trend in tech so far. I tried the Z fold 2 and while it was a nice phone there were just too many compromises to justify the price and practicality of the phone.
A solution in search of a problem?? Humm!
Just imagine to have a big massive screen (+7 in) in such a compact device that truly fits in the palm of your hand. Would be simply great!
Why are your mind so closed?
I want it NOW!
Eventually, yes. But if that stage is land mammals, right now we’re still at the fish-with-longer-fins step—and with future alternatives like AR glasses to obviate the need for any physical screen slab, it’s also possible that foldables are the dinosaurs instead of the mammals…
