    I want a phone I can hold comfortably in one hand. I don’t need a larger screen, I need to remember to call the eye doctor.

    No. I know. These phones aren’t for me. They’re for people who want to replace their laptop with a phone. The market is moving toward an all inclusive device, and the only way to make that work is dorky VR headsets, awkward projectors, or venti phones.

    There’s not much left to “fix.” Which puts Apple in a tough spot: the iPhone Fold needs to do more than just finally get released.

    this entire article pretends like consumers arent already immersed in their respective ecosystems… like an apple household would just switch to android for foldability… ha, no. just no.

    the apple people will finally be able to buy an overpriced piece of hardware to match their android-centric friends. it will be very popular among its actual, target audience, apple users.

      Yup. Screw thinness, I’d love to have one that’s twice as thick as any modern phone, but with a two week battery life. You know, like we used to have.

      Stick a 5G phone into a Psion Series V or Psion Revo and I’d buy them for the whole family.
