A tablet can't fit into your pocket. I've been using folds for the past 6 years and I've been very happy and can't go back. Never had one break its screen either. 2000 USD being an insane price for one on the other hand, I can agree with.

    The other interesting part to me is that most iPhone users have gotten used to using faceid. I know not everyone likes using it but it is the standard use for iPhone users. The Duo doesn't have face ID, and switches you back to having to use touch ID on a side button like on an iPad. (I assume because they couldn't figure out a standardized position that would work well when you are rotating/folding/unfolding whatever to that could consistently work well.

    Gotten used may not necessarily mean they like it though. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a plus point for them. Heck, for me, I find the Z Fold's power button fingerprint sensor a plus point compared to the in-screen sensors on the regular phones.
