I switched from a lifetime of iPhones to an android phone last year, just because of folding phones. They are amazing and IMO the reason why Apple is going to have issues as these get cheaper (unless they release a folding phone too). Now that I have all this screen estate the current UI feels limiting often.

Rumors are Apple will be inventing the folding phone in a year or two.

Haha yeah, I’ve heard that too! Apple might be late to the foldable party, but you know how they do it — show up last and still steal the spotlight. If they really launch one, it’ll probably be super refined… and super pricey. Let’s see if they can change the game like they did with the notch!

I am pretty skeptical that I would like the size but I’m certainly interested in seeing what they come up with.

They like to wait until stuff is “ready” to their standard. Android had 3G, 4G, and 5G first. OLED screens too.

Early folders had a lot of issues, but I know a lot of that has been sorted for years.

The size: its a smaller phone that becomes a tablet on demand. It really is the best of both worlds

Your hands still pay for the full weight all the time.

Ah, yes, the whole 12g difference!

Both of these are crazy heavy by my standards. The Nexus 5 was a great phone at 130g.
