  • I respect your opinion, but for me is it hardly a gimmick. I don’t need a tablet in my bag to view websites that aren’t compatible with mobile layouts, I have a tablet in my pocket whenever I want. Sure it’s not for everyone, just like iPhones vs Android, but the form factor of foldables absolutely solves the needs of some customers and I’m grateful there’s a line of products out there that fits my needs.

    It took me a week or so to get used to the form factor but since then I can’t imagine going back to a slab. Different strokes for different folks.




  • I hated the idea until I bought a Fold4. I’m always careful with my electronics, even so, I’ve dropped it several times on accident and had zero issues. I can’t imagine going back to a slab phone, the flexibility of the extra screen real estate is something I use so often that it really would be a significant disruption to my everyday to go back to a slab.

    Reliability is a reasonable concern, but the benefits far outweigh the potential risks for me. If you’re breaking phones all the time, they probably aren’t a good fit for you. I don’t bring my phone to beach so maybe I’m more careful than the average user - regardless, I guess that’s why I have a smartwatch.
