I've always had this opinion, but the reveal of the iPhone Duo recently cemented it in my head.
I genuinely dont see the appeal, nor the need, for foldable smartphones.
Why would I want an iPhone that:
-doesn't fit in my pocket properly
-has a worse battery life
-snaps in half like a twig if you bend it incorrectly
-will have crease lines after a full year of use
-COSTS $2000???????
that last point ESPECIALLY makes this entirely pointless. it costs MORE than the iPad, with LESS screen space...
SO LIKE AT THAT POINT JUST GET A FUCKING IPAD????
I don't get the point of folding phones.

"COSTS $2000???????" | Yep. If they made the phone similar to the Macbook Neo with an affordable price point, I would've seen it made a slight impact on the market but it still leaves foldable phones into a niche set of an audience. I would like to see a company implement a folding phone properly. Maybe one day. 😑

i agree! modern foldable phones like the iphone duo is just weird and feels like a big hassle while the older phones like the blackberry are way more practical and portable!
