For the love of god, yes. About half the time, I want a phone. The other I want a tablet. A foldable phone similar to the galaxy fold is exactly what I want.

But I’m locked into the Apple ecosystem for multiple reasons. And no, “just get two devices” isn’t that great an option. I don’t use them at the same time, why not just have them be the same device? Also helps with the fact that I might want to go back and forth between something in both modes.

Sales suggest, "Yes."

I live in Korea and I see the Samsung foldable phones in the hands of like every 5th person, so yeah I'd say they sell

Samsung is up to Fold 5, so at least someone keeps buying them. Though they are also up to Flip 5, a concept so dumb I honestly won't believe anyone wants or uses one, so who knows.

Yes. I have the fold 3 and will ask for another foldable when the time to upgrade comes.

Same reason you can't buy a new small pickup truck. They don't make them because the mass market isn't there

Because they don't sell.

I would really like to upgrade my 12 mini to an newer Mini model if they ever made one!

Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries

I can't speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can't imagine going back to a slab

Removable batteries for sure, but I spent 20 years waiting for the clamshell design to make a comeback and I love my Flip (4). Phones need to fit in pockets and have a decent sized screen.

Did you say folding phone? Ew

I think you'll find it's the new iPhone 17 with dynamic flex technology and that Tim Cook will repeatedly say on stage that this has "never been done before".

They actually was first with folding smartphone though, remember iPhone 6 bending drama

Personally, I love fold phones. They give me portability and a big screen which are the two things I most want in a phone

Um... I started with a Fold 2 and currently on a fold 5. Maybe YOU don't want them, but it's hardly nobody.

Shit on Apple for a lot of things, but if they put out a foldable it’s not likely to be crap hardware. Just overpriced with an annoying OS.

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.

Hard disagree, fold 4 gang.
