It's bigger and heavier than a phone.

It has a smaller display with a crease[1] and has less battery than a tablet. The screen is even smaller than an iPad mini. IMO that form factor only really works for like a Kindle.

And the screen has a matte finish which is only going to reduce contrast.

You made a generalization about foldables. I don't have an iPhone I have a pixel. The screen is a normal phone screen on the outside. The weight doesn't bother me, it's smaller than my last phone and very slightly thicker which is still very thin, the crease is completely non issue and it's much worse on my phone than the iPhone. Battery is better than my last phone.

Anybody who mentions the crease hasnt used a folding phone in the last 3 years. Come on just try one

> less battery than a tablet

iPad mini battery life ~10-15 hours, iPhone duo 30+ hours so no...

Matte finishes are great for viewing outdoors too...

  • Apple claims 30+ hours yes but when using a single screen.

    • Nope, ~31 hours when using the inner screen, ~44 hours when using the external. Either way 30 >15 hours for the iPad mini.
