Lets List the major disadvantages of a "FOLDING" iPhone

#1. Costs more materials and hardware
#2. Worse reliability
#3. Texting is not intuitive (slower response time) Do I text back with the device closed or open ?
#4. Repairs, most common issues like a screen replacement can be done immediately NOT with a "FOLDING" device
#5. You are a BETA Tester there will be unforeseen software issues.
#6. PRE-Order disasters There will NOT be enough made til 2027 (apple is relying on low initials sales)
#7. Cases and screen protectors Few to NO Options. ( A $10 glass screen protector has saved my phone many times)

These are a few Major Dealbreakers that make a FOLDING Device or iPhone a poor choice.
Please share with everyone any other Disadvantages I have over looked.
Are you actually going to be confused about how to reply to someone's text message? Unless you're writing a novel in reply, just use the screen in front of you.
