I very rarely use the camera on my iPhone. Ideally I would like an option to have no bump like we had in the early years of the iPhone.
I’ve not seen any definitive research on how long these folding phones last before any cracks or creases appear.
If that is your thing then have a look at the new processor in the Samsung S25
Like with anything else in life, a lot of it depends on the end user. I had a Z Flip 4 for 27 months. I used it caseless, changed out the screen protector once, and never had any issues with durability. One of the bosses where I work went through three (always in a case) in less than a year from rough handling/dropping.
I wish I was pedantic enough to keep track of the usernames of people who say features like this are bad, or say stuff like “If you want X,Y,Z get an android” and see if they make use of said features when iOS incorporates them. But im far too lazy for that
It's not a crease (meaning if you pull the display glass off there will be no actual crease in the ultra thin glass) as much as it is more of an extremely shallow valley that is now getting close to being imperceptible to the eye and to the touch, because we don't currently possess the technology to put hardware behind that part of the display like we can underneath the rest of the display, because that is where the hinge mechanism resides.
Well as technology advances, you can have all those things in a smaller and thinner device. Imagine if people complained about TV's getting thinner and we were still stuck with huge CRT tv's lol.
Your average consumer wants something that is cute, they have no idea what a CPU/GPU is.
In fairness battery tech is advancing. Some of the new thinner and smaller phones have more power. 5000mah was standard enough, now it seems to be moving towards 6000 for standard flagships.
In the case of foldables thinness is imperative. The whole point of foldables is convenience. You don’t want to be carrying around a thick brick in your pocket.
