I still don’t understand why I should care for a foldable touchscreen phone. Nor for apple products.
The two things that appeal to me about the folding phone are (1) protecting the screen from scratches, especially in my pocket or backpack and (2) that when folded, I wont accidentally touch the screen in a way that will register as a click or swipe. The last one in particular is super annoying to me. However, it doesn’t seem like the technology is ready for this yet since it sounds like the folding mechanism breaks easily. And ofc, I never buy anything Apple.
My FP3 hanged around in my pocket unprotected for 4 years and still has no scratch on its screen. I feel like the industry learned how to make basically indestructible glass for a while (except if you casually put diamonds in the same pocket).
If years of using a case has taught me, once you get some sand or something in it, it will practically scratch itself.
Blink twice if Apple is forcing you to read this article. Otherwise you could just keep scrolling if you don’t care that much?
I have one, it’s nice because it actually fits in my pocket and has a stable center of gravity. Every other phone I’ve had would regularly fall out of my pockets, and that’s how they would become broken or lost. I bought mine used last year, and it’s still in great condition.
