I love my Fold4. It's definitely the future. I always get stares and have random people ask what type of phone it is. I can't wait for Apple to release one in a couple of years.
Got a tip for us?

We ha be already had folding phones Samsung you are taking a step back in innovation
aapl still on sideline waiting for compelling tech and reasoning for foldable design - a good thing - let samsung be aapl r&d dept for once
Yea I don't even notice the crease anymore. Now I didn't like the Fold (Phone into Tablet) at the VZW store. It doesn't seem like it would fit any better into my pocket like the Flip does. I've never really liked tablets anymore. Phone for on the go and Laptop for a fixed location.
Oh, I really want a foldable phone so i can get crumbs stuck in the middle of it and have a huge movable part to break.
Cue the ignorance. Apple never "attacked" Windows. Windows, or "I'm a PC" did it to himself. There's a difference.
They need a feature where if you slam it shut while on a call it plays the sound of a landline phone being slammed down to the person on the other end
Had those flip4 in my hands last week and I hated this feeling to swipe over that crease.
Depends on perspectives. Samsung clearly thinks apple not being able to fold is something they did to themselves. Similarly, the whole "Spin the vista" ad poking fun at the number of vista editions wasn't really a big deal. Just buy home premium and call it a day. But Apple thought it was to make an ad. They even attacked windows 7 but that was a good OS.
Anyways the ad is good fun. Foldables are of no interest to me but even then, that iphone raging at the end was still amusing.
I love it when people say this. It’s like they’re trying to justify spending so much for something with an obvious defect. Sure you can ignore it but it’s there. It will get worse over time.
My old iPhone had a cracked screen. I used it so much I didn’t even notice it. It didn’t affect how it worked and it was fine. That doesn’t mean I would buy one like that without considering the crack.

Yea, not likely. I'm too deep into the ecosystem to switch, and couldn't care less for a foldable phone. )
same here, what an underpowered mess that thing wasI got SO stung with the ipad 3
same people upset or confused are the same people that would be interested if apple released one.. Till then we can wait c:
I kind of miss my Blackberry flip phone, I know it's totally different but this thread gave me fond memories of another life.
I must admit the iPhone design has run its course and getting long in the tooth, the dynamic island is not going to cut it. I would definitely buy a Samsung Flip if it had iOS in it.

It’s clever, but it’s still doesn’t speak to any real benefit of flip phones. Samsung does this a lot. They focus on trying to make consumers feel like they’re “missing out” on some feature instead of communicating tangible and desirable benefits that might make a difference in a user’s life.
Until Samsung focuses on benefits rather than features, their brand will continue to be second tier.

Attacking another company through snarky advertising only showcases desperation and weakness.
Apple didn't attack Windows specifically. They went after PC. And to that point, sometimes even mentioned that Microsoft made software for Mac.
It makes sense to have foldable phone if the goal is to get noticed with ... aaaahs and the oooohs
Including their copy paste advertising formula
No, see, we'll put a second screen on the outside, that offers a preview of what's on the inside screen, as a 15 second continuous loop, complete with someone with an exaggerated facial expression so you can tell at a glance if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
