Every phone maker seems convinced that if they can be the one to make this work, they’ll be the champion of world forever, or something. I can’t understand why a user would even want this. How many users do want this?

I had some issues with a Fold3 and had it replaced for some micro-cracks showing down the middle of the crease, but now I’m beating the shit out of a fold 7 and it’s been perfect for a year so far. apple got something wrong with the hinge design here, you’d think they’d get it right after holding off on folders this long though.

I was all set to wait for a Motorola Razr with Graphene to drop (and finally be done with Apple) until I read the iFixit tear-down of the Duo and realized that all foldables are fragile and require extra care (that I, a surfer and parent of four children, cannot guarantee).
