If they can make a foldable phone that doesn’t feel clunky af in my pocket I’d consider it, but for now I like what I got

An iPhone that can turn into an iPad Mini sounds nice, but have foldable screens matured enough to be practical, reliable, and - most importantly - resilient?

I think this is where the tech going into the iPad Pro and iPhone Air is destined to end up, if they can get the thickness of each side into the low 5mm ballpark, then a 10mm folding phone vs. a 8-9mm pro model and its not much thicker.

I’d trade 1-2mm thickness for a 5.5” form factor (please submit your jokes below)

Well the foldables (like Galaxy Fold 7) are already under 9mm. So being the size of two phones days are over.

This is the question, each version of the Fold I’ve waited a month and searched for complaints about the screen.

The screens have undoubtedly got better but there are still hundreds of complaints about visible damage to the fold line reported within a month of release. Only just over a month before the Fold7 results are due!

The fold is distracting on every foldable I’ve seen, and worse, all the screens feel terrible in use. Flimsy/plasticy
