In all fairness I'm really looking for that 2019 Mac Pro event which I am expecting will take place at WWDC.
Samsung plays a very different game with marketing. They want to be everywhere all the time. Like cheap beer!
I guess you did fall for a sarcasm!
But on a serious note,I don’t think a hole is that much better than a notch.

I'm not sure what your definition of cosmopolitan is, but SF and London are both cosmopolitan cities, in my opinion.
Blasted! Foiled again! And I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you, Shanghaichica!
Easy solution. Black duct tape that covers the notch and its sides. This way the notch becomes a bezel.
So which apple event in 2018 was that groundbreaking one? Cheap (tech recycling) ipad one? Or pure sw event with polished versions of 1 year old sw? Or one that brought us incremental upgrades of one year old iphones? Or mac event with mb air upgr (old tech from mb pro with new marketing name)? Please educate me...
Exactly what I was wondering when I saw your content. Folding seems so dumb to me. It appears that we are running out of ways to innovate (mature product).... so... they have to really go crazy.
Yes, although some of the leaks suggest at least one device might have a smaller outside screen so the phone is like an SE when desired, but can open out into a larger screen when needed. The best of both worlds.

really ? small iPhone 7 for 450 bucks to XsMax large for 1400bucks. fact
Personally, I use the complete iPad family (mini......Pro). Each display size is seems optimal for a specific application world (drone support .... mobile .... design / watch movies).
I found it appalling that Apple was following the "Big is beautiful" agenda on the iPhone and eradically wipeing out the (at least India and china suitable) SE.

Why are people so hellbent on getting rid of bezels? Sure... it WAS time to shrink the bezels down from the iPhone 8 and below days... but why are people wanting to ELIMINATE them? It's stupid. I don't see the point... especially if it means we get large notches and hole punched displays because of it.
I wouldn't call them thrilling but:
1. Always on display
2. I have a Samsung S8, it came from N and then updated to O and was not slowed down, Samsung will release and update for P on February, no worries that the phone will be slowed down.
3. When I bought it, iPhone X was not around and can't talk about the camera or display. But on every meeting, everybody wants a photo with the Samsung, iPhone 8 is not even close.
4. Again, compared to iPhone 8, a better display.
5. They came with fast charge (adapter included)
6. Home screen personalization
7. And Compared to iPhone X or Xs or Xr, this:
I have two questions about your points... so you are saying iPhone cant upgrade their software twice? and you are saying Samsung batteries never degrade over time?
Amen to the Razr. I absolutely loved that phone! Barely could tell it was in my pocket.
Could be that Apple Watch that takes an EKG... iPad also saw a pretty big leap forward.
adjective
- arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching the attention
Yes, aw 4 really was exciting, true. And thats it.
Ahh, you must have missed the gigantic leap forward in processing power, or the watch that can now take an EKG, or the iPad pro announcement. So it looks like you missed at least 2 of the keynotes.
Regardless of the uber-strong (and narrow-minded) Apple tribalism in here:
Foldable displays are indeed a leap of "think different" and create a challenge to engineering, and to product and ergonomic design.
Will it succeed? Maybe... maybe not.
But if successful, it will be disruptive, and create designs that we have yet to imagine -- akin to the natural evolution of three-dimensional, multi-finger, touch.
Those that deny this, are either blinded by tribalism or idiots, or both.
