Foldable phones look and work like shit. Not a shock that Apple wants nothing to do with a silly fad— not until it’s worth it for them.
I am on my second foldable phone, and on my fourth year using them. Not only does your statement is not true, you probably never even touched a single foldable.
Looks? Subjective. I personally love the form factor. Works like shit? In your dreams.
Which do you have? Genuinely curious, never used the modern ones, but assumed they’d be shit/very fragile
Not op, but I have the galaxy fold 3 and it's amazing. I've had it for 3 years and I can't go back to normal phones. And I've heard the same from many others that got their first foldable.
I've had both the Samsung Fold 2 and now the Pixel Fold
N cer had any issues with them
Right now a Fold 6; the previous one I had was the 3.
The screens are pretty fragile, however they're protected when folded. Just don't drop them onto anything while open....
Other than that they're surprisingly robust. I've had 2 Moto Razr models and a Samsung Z Fold. First Razr did break the screen by leaving it open in a stupidly precarious position and it hit a piece of metal below directly on the folding screen when it fell. But day to day use I never worried about it.
