    Fold tech still ain’t there. Especially with regards to durability. But that’s part of the point, they need you to replace your phone on the regular.

      Eh, I’ve had two Razrs now. First one the outer screen died from a fall - it was the traditional style screen that wasn’t durable.

      Maybe it’s worse on Pixels or Samsungs, but my anecdotal experience has been that the inner flexible screen has been better than the outer one.

    I like the idea of fold tech but I just wish it unfolded to a proper aspect ratio.

    Imagine an iPhone that unfolds into an iPad.

    Edit: just looked it up, it’s 4:3, which is not bad but imo it’s also not good

      It is literally the aspect ratio of every iPad, though 😅

      Something like 16:10 or 16:9 would make it very square when folded. IMO the most satisfying aspect ratio would be √2:1, like A4 paper, so that the aspect ratio when closed and open is the same.

        Well shit that shows how little I know about tablets

        You know, I hope this becomes something people like, cause why not, we need some tech wins these days.

      I’m the kind of contrarian who thinks we should have stuck with 4:3 in general, it’s a better framing for a lot of content and it also makes the vertical video problem a lot less annoying in my view.
