Either is better than a 7” inch phone like the Pro Max. But I don’t know how reliable the flip form factor is yet.
I had the first gen razer before my current mini and it stopped working after about 6 months of use. It just stopped reading touch input after flipping it shut one day.
Same. I like the smaller form factor but don’t want to ditch screen space like the SE. And I prefer this style of flip over the giant tablet that folds down to a skinny screen.
No? I have an iPhone because Apple is definitely more trustworthy with my data than Google. The only other Apple product I have is an Apple Watch because I like the integration. Other than that every computer I have runs Linux.
You Google simps need to grow up and stop acting like Tesla fanboys lol
I love the idea of it but I have to agree, it’s just less repairable and causes even more e-waste. Smartphone advancement is at a point where we could easily be using the same device for at least 8 years, but not if they come with planned obsolescence as a feature.
People said the same thing about the notch in iPhone screens, and the removal of the head phone jack. They even said it about larger iPhones. And just like all these other “ideas” that should be skipped, people will buy it.
I have the Samsung foldable (flip 4). It’s a nice gimmic, but does apple really want to force app developers to support yet another form factor? That’s supposedly one of the draws of apple development: you don’t have to support every random screen size made by some third party.
Just skip this idea. No one wants this.
Bin this and bring back the mini so we can have a proper small form factor phone
If the foldable is the form factor of a mini, how would that go over?

I’d buy this in a heartbeat lol

But why?
Because I’m a millenial with a nostalgic craving for the satisfaction of a flip phone.
Ditch touch screen and give it physical buttons and we’ll be on to something.
Speak for yourself… I’m hoping google comes out with a flip phone Pixel. If I was an iPhone person this is exactly what I’d be hoping for.
I want a phone that folds up to be smaller than a normal phone so I don’t have to have giant bricks in my pocket.
I’d gladly trade-in my 8pro for a foldable pixel, even though I don’t want to change phones often…

As an iPhone user anything Apple comes up with you will shove in your mouth and say “thank you can I have more, Apple is the best”.

Let us change the battery…it’s the major reason why phones feel ‘slow’ as they age.

I still think the removal of the headphone jack was a very anti-customer move. It only benefited them to try to sell more earbuds.
I’ve known people that purchased the foldable android when it came out, they got rid of it.
I’m still proper pissed about this.

I love my giant iPhone and would never buy a foldable
Apple fans will buy whatever Apple makes them want.
