Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing::Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that’s not stopping anyone but Apple.

    I don’t give a flying fuck about foldable screens, give me a real keyboard. The bottom half of one of these flippable screens could totally fit rows of physical buttons!

    They’ll catch on and become highly desirable approximately 1 minute after Apple makes one.

    I feel like the percentage of the market that wears button down shirts but also needs a smart phone for business, that is also small enough to close the flap so the phone doesn’t fall in cow shit or go up the grain auger, is comparatively small. It’s really annoying they haven’t changed those pockets from cigarette pack size to smart phone size.

    In a few years apple will release one, act like they invented it. The fanboys will pay whatever price apple is selling it for and foldables will be mainstream.

    Apple products aren’t that good but their marketing is second to none.

    I hope all these big companies pump billions into this tech and lose it all.
