This is such a weird take. Folding phones are a tiny market and they all have considerable durability downsides.

Also, if the market did shift Apple could easily build one. I’m sure they’ve prototyped a few already.

People said the same thing about bigger screens years ago

  • No larger screen has ever had issues with permanent damage from regular use. They just aren’t a good fit for most people in their current durability state. Anyone who totally baby’s their phone can use them, but that’s about it. Also, they’re pretty much all in an extreme price bracket. You could buy a small tablet and a regular flagship phone for the price of one of the galaxy folds.

  • People didn't like the OG Xbox "Duke" controller. They complained left and right.

    I'm a tall adult male. Every other controller is tiny to me.

    My max phone size is just about right on the ProMax iPhones. They should be a little smaller - but only a little, like 1-2 mm width. I've got big hands, and I love a big screen.
