I was sceptical about this for factor seeing as it seemed like a gimmicky throwback to the early to mid 2000s.

But honestly, now that I've played around with Samsungs offerings I get it. Back in the day phones had quite a bit of personality, and Samsung really nailed that aspect.

People who have them love them. I think there's truth to the idea that iPhone Air is a stepping stone to a foldable with thin halves.

I definitely did not see that coming. In my mind, foldable phones were the 3D TV of the phones.

Interesting development though. Nice to see something that is both cool looking and, apparently, useful getting traction.

Everyone is forgetting that Apple had a foldable phone in 2014/15

It's funny now that Apple is speculated to have a foldable phone on the drawing board, I can hear in real time all the tech "journalists" swinging their viewpoints around from considering it a joke to saying what a good idea it is and how they can't wait for it. Some of them already talking like Apple invented it, before they even have a product. Seems like Apple still has the reality distortion field.

Just incase people were confused like me, this article is a bit dated and published Aug 16th.

It would be nice if the extra room when unfolded could be used for a real keyboard. Probably too thin for one, though.

This article seems a bit silly.

If we look at Q3 and Q4 sales, I bet it shows Apple increasing its share of phones shipped.

Comparing one company’s share in a quarter where they launch new devices to another company’s share when that company launched no new devices is, frankly, stupid.

Call me old fashioned but I hope Apple always keeps the iphone without folding, and always keeps ipad.

I love both devices for different things, I don’t want them smushed together.
