By the time Apple Glasses ‘take over’, that’s likely easily five years at a minimum. There’s plenty of time for foldables to mature and offer more stable pricing. Foldables don’t have to be a main stream product to be successful, they have to be wisely engineered and useful enough with appropriate consumer pricing.
Samsung announced the galaxy fold all the way back in 2019.
It’s almost 2022.
There hasn’t been much in the way of improvement, or price reduction, or adoption, or any new reasons to purchase a folding phone in the past three years.
Meanwhile, three years after the iPhone first launched, it, and it’s copycats, were must-have products.
Same with the iPod, by 2004, three years after the iPod first launched, it was Apple‘s biggest product.
Same with the iPad, and the Apple Watch.
All of these products caught on extremely quickly, became affordable within their first three years, and became household products and must buys.
It’s been three years since the original galaxy fold, and… nothing.
Do you honestly think another five years will change the trajectory?
Because personally, I think that folding phones are just the new 3-D TVs, something that huge companies spend half a decade convincing us that we need, until slowly they just fizzle out because no one actually liked them
