Report: Apple is testing foldable iPhones, having the same problems as everyone else::Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

the problems:

  1. they’re crap
  2. they break easily because they’re crap
  3. they’re expensive and have a high cost of ownership because they’re crap
  4. NOBODY FUCKING WANTS THEM

so, why is this happening?

I've had my fold3 for over 2 years and I absolutely love it. I don't think I can go back to a bar-phone now. Also, even if you really don't like folding phones, why fight creativity? Before this phones were getting so boring and completely lacking innovation. They still are in the non-folding market. Even if you don't like them, choice is never a bad thing.
