I want a foldable iPhone so bad. My biggest temptations to switch to Android are def the foldables
Nothing stopping you. You can always go back to Apple if you don't like it.
I’m in this same boat I have the 13 pro max. I’ve been think about switching to the iPad mini or the galaxy a fold 5 when they come out.
Same. Apple needs to keep up with technology.
That Moto razr plus is nice if you have a plain Jane iPhone non pro. Samsung flip 5 might not be bad
@@jondecker7941 I want the tablet size. I saw the pixel one but the Samsung looks better
Undoubtedly apple will get it right whenever they do do it but by that time the industry will be moving on to the next thing. Love the fact that Samsung does innovative things even if it fails on the 1st go around
Of course. They take a million years watching what others do and just polish it Apple style. They don't innovate.
Failure is not innovation it’s failure and they fix as they go.
@@29kalel just because u innovate something does not mean it's going to be a success in the market in sales. Samsung made the first phablet (Galaxy Note) the first folding phone and much more. Apple usually copies after Samsung's success with it.
I just hate when the media says Apple invented something that was already out for a couple of years. I like Apple but they do not invent anything just make tech better.
@@khunt1947honestly besides completely changing the idea of what are modern smart phone is defined as with their first iphone ever, they haven’t done anything first. they just tend to do it better, and expand on the tech in a very apple way.
I've had a folding phone for the past 3 years and I've had the fold 3 for two years now. My thoughts are that Apple wants you to buy two iPads one for home one for on the go and an iPhone with an Apple watch and a pair of AirPods. See where I'm going with this. Most of the time I have two devices in my pocket that do everything exceptionally well which is my fold 3 and my Bose earbuds and that's it.
I’m definitely thinking of switching to the fold. iPhones haven’t changed at all except for battery life. I’m ready for my phablet, so excited!!
Don't see people leave the cult very often. Congrats.
It's hilarious when iphoners rave about better camera and battery life as the only meaningful improvements... bro my phone turns into a tablet. You can keep your better battery life😅
I've had every samsung fold. I could never go back. Love one handed use with single hand and tablet for everything else
Samsung, Google releases folding phones
Apple fanboys: mid
Apple releases a folding phone
Apple fanboys: new innovation! greatest thing ever! no one has ever thought of this before!
I thought they already released a foldable iPhone. The iPhone 6.
1:31 "we know Apple is not in a hurry to jump into new uncertain territory..."
Yeah, like USB-C for their phones.
WITH limited functionality.
🤣🤣🤣
Watching you on my 2018 12.9” iPad Pro sipping my morning tea and suddenly the idea of folding you up like a good book seems cool, but I like my 13 Mini just the way it is
when foldables become an apple thing, the apple stans will declare it innovative and forward thinking
No, they just won’t be popular in the States until they bring one out. They move the mountains with releases and the whole industry watches them do it. If I’m Apple, I’m thinking my consumer can buy a iPhone 14 and an iPad Air 5 for the same price of an 1800 dollar foldable
If Apple makes a foldable, it will be more than $1799 for sure. My guess would be $2200.
Also, they'd rather sell a $3000 AR/VR headset on top of that iPhone 14 and iPad Air 5.
Apple came up with the case for in ear headphones and everyone silently copied them. They completely revolutionized the market with the concept while, that was innovative and forward thinking. Now it’s everywhere. But if they do something that already exists, people fall on them. Double standard.
If Apple were able to create a foldable as thin (when closed) and heavy as a normal iPhone, with the same camera performance, chipset performance and battery endurance as their normal iPhones then yeah that would be pretty innovative. I’ve owned three foldables and tbh performance, battery and camera wise they felt like midrange phones, that’s why I never went for the Fold 4 and went with the S23U.
Just say you’re poor lol I can feel your hate through your comment
If Apple copied the pixel fold I would buy it immediately. I currently use an iPad and an iPhone and would happily pay to combine those into one device, even if it meant my "phone" was a bit thicker" and my "iPad" had a bit of a smaller screen. I'm pretty invested in the Apple ecosystem, but the pixel fold has me thinking the most seriously I ever have about switching.
switch, i think pizle is so much better. yes i use a macbook. and a windows pc, my parents always buy the iphones my girlfriend too. but i think my pixel takes the best pics
You just said why Apple won’t release a folding phone anytime soon. They’ll hold out until iPad sales drop to a certain extent. Why would they make a folding phone to compete with their own products. Also if and when Apple does announce one it’ll sell more in 24 hrs than google and Samsung combined lol 😂. Also my next phone will be a folding device. Whether not it’s Apple or a competitor we shall see what the next 2 years brings.
Yeah I honestly think bringing back 5.8 inch display would be a good move by Apple. The outer display at 5.8 inch is enough and if you want to go bigger just unfold.
My fold 4 is a dream. I prefer the form factor of the samsung over the pixel
Frankly Apple is today the least innovative company
i rather they take longer to adapt to new tech than to come up with these folding phones that break after weeks of use
@@nomelc z fold is rocking out and still doesn't break
@@bjornjosephI've dropped my fold 4 like 5 times on hard surfaces including when I fell off my electric scooter 😅...every time without a case and all it has is scuffs. I've been caseless since day one since I have samsung care
It would be refreshing to have the option for a folding iPhone for those who are tired of the same design we’ve had since 2017. All they have to do is add the multitasking features from the iPad and there you have it.
Apple is always hesitant to make "combo devices" though because they rather make a good phone and a good tablet vs a good phone-tablet combo (which is what a folding phone is). There's a reason why when everyone was making touch screen and convertible laptops Apple never ( and still hasn't) made one. I don't think they will make a foldable in my honest opinion, its just not within their business model
Oh yeah right away you just take your existing model give it a stretch and fold it in half. There you have it. Simple as that. lmaoo
@@FoxyDrew When you put it that way it sounds unattainable or far fetched Lol But when you take a form factor that already exists (i.e foldables), have Apple load IOS software to it, and now you have a product that sounds like it could go into production within a few months.
If the Google foldable phone is $1,799 expect the foldable IPhone to be around $2,500. If this ever happens.
Sheep will have to choose between financing a iPhone phold or a vision pro 😅
i like the idea of folding phones i even tried the z flip 4 when it came out but in its current state its just too fragile and doesn’t last as long as a normal phone
First folding iPhone = iPhone 6
I don't consider clamshell foldables are foldables. The whole purpose of having a foldable is to have a bigger tablet-like screen without a bigger phone, not to cut the current phone size in half and twice the thickness.
Have a z fold 4 now after almost buying a 14 pro max, and honestly there's no going back for me. Apple should definitely release a folding phone, but i imagine its going to be at least 3 years until it reaches their "standards." In the meantime, im going to enjoy the heck out of this phone (which by the way with trade in and pre order bonuses was far cheaper than an iphone)
Apple already had a folding phone. They were called iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Currently a fold 4 user I can say it has its use. Content creation and illustrations are some of those points but my main use case is watching shows on the go and at work. I switched about 2 years ago from a iPhone 11 that had a touch screen go out to a flip 3 then when i could afford it a fold4. So to see Apple actually some what working on innovating and not trying to sell you on a phone that feel like a glorified iPhone 4s would be a step in the right direction
That'd be really something werid to look at. But fun to know! thank you Bridget.
I want things to go in the opposite direction. Give me the SideKick/Hiptop form factor. Love the swivel screen + physical keyboard. When touchscreen tech came out everyone perceived it as cool innovative tech. Everything had to be touchscreen. As the sheen has worn away, turns out people really want physical buttons. In cars people don't want a giant iPad on their dash. They want knobs to control their volume and air.
You can't compare a car with a phone.
Most people don't care about physical buttons for typing on their phones.
Also, large touch screens in cars has its own fan base. Not everyone hates them.
Who are these "people" who want physical buttons on phones back? You and your elderly pals? lmao
@@FoxyDrew People with fingers
Thank you for these videos. They're a smart way to bring trends more in view to the casual non-tech person.
The problem with the reviews is that they LOVE anything cr-Apple and almost ignore the 80% world market called Android.
CNET did a big announcement about The new IPhone 14 has a Yellow model. W O W Dbrand probably has a wrap skin that would make any cellphone yellow. No news worthy news.
As someone who uses my iPad as my main editing workflow… a folding iPhone is a tantalizing thought
Great video Bridget. I love all the research you do to prep for these videos. Just wish that your sources were more reliable than other press. Keep up the great work!
Apple did foldables first with bend gate 😂😅
Hear me out, iPhone lineup should simplify to only a mini, pro, and a fold. Could release mini in the spring and other two in the fall.
Exactly…been saying that as well👍. Don’t know why Apple needs 4 or 5 different phones, that look the same, but different sizes?
I would honestly love them take over the flip phone instead than fold. They already have the ipad mini line for that, flip would be dope
The google fold gives me hope. I would want the phone/tablet hybrid but only if it is not too much thicker than the existing iPhone.
"One more thing!" I LOVE your videos.
the clamshell makes no sense to me. it adds complexity and thickness while adding very little advantage other than doubling as a stand if you're sat at a desk. That's a very niche scenario for so many negatives. The folding mini tabled makes much more sense as it has the huge advantage of more screen real estate.
Good points
Enable the Apple Pencil for their phones and have a functional link between a phone and the IPad mini.
The Samsung Fold4 is wonderful. There is no need for a laptop when presenting decks at a table or having four apps open at same time
Foldable phones are the in thing. It's just amazing experience with galaxy z fold 4, awaiting fold 5 releases come August 2023
Bridget is the best
Love your videos.
The foldable phone saga is just like the larger phone issue. Apple was very late on a larger phone (5.5" and larger).
My guess is, the only reason Apple hasn’t released a folding phone is, they’re worried it’ll cut into iPad sales. People need to stop defending Apple by saying they’re waiting until the technology is mature. Samsung is on its 4th Z fold. It’s way past time for Apple to enter the folding phone space.
The only iPad that could potentially suffer in sales because of a foldable iPhone would be the iPad Mini.
Even then, not everyone wants a foldable ANYTHING. Apple can definitely keep both products available if they wanted to.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Yeah not gonna lie, I want that to happen, I've waited so long for a smaller ipad pro tablet, that this would be a superior upgrade for that series. I would not miss that it would then be finally upraised to the "pro" standard (120htz + latest gen processor) what do you think?❤️
Let the sheep think what they want...they are just hating lmaooo
Honestly I hope that when they do make it, they call it the iFold and not the iPhone Fold or something
I am waiting for this so badly
I honestly don't think Apple would consider anything folding until removing the crease can be perfected. Next. In addition to that I would see it a folding phone something to replace ipad mini, however a duel screen device like the Surface Duo is an Apple product I would buy ( if the price was reasonable) cause the only problem with the Duo was software and one thing about Apple is that software is where they excel. I don't feel Apple will do anything folding until the crease issue is resolved, but as for folding phone I don't see it happening, a pocketable table possibly
Exactly. And then you have the issue of water proofing the whole thing. Hinges are weak points for this and Apple doesn’t like movable parts too much.
A internal-dual-screen phone isn't necessary because Google just launched the Surface Duo 3 *cough* I mean the Pixel Fold.
All it takes is optimized software to turn the Pixel Fold into the multitasking powerhouse that Surface Duo never fully became and I say that as an owner of the Surface Duo 1.
Pixel Fold is basically what Microsoft is desperately planning to release except Google will keep adding features unlike Microsoft.
I would be happy to see a "horizontal rollable" screen like the Motorola's vertical rollable phone in iPhone Mini size but with Pro model features, built with super strong and lightweight Titanium material. How many would that sell world wide??!
I’ll just say it, if Apple made a clamshell flip like the razr, I’d buy it! I need a pocketable device!
You funny 😆. Keep writing those scripts during lunch 🥪 😁✌️
I love all the fold phone haters...
Reminds me of 5 years ago
when everyone hated on large phones....
The price is the only issue when it comes down
everyone will have a folding phone and love it
As a fold owner who did not pay anywhere near full price because $1500 for s phone is ridiculous
it's awesome love this phone!!
Galaxy Z Flip is already $1,000 or less.
Clamshell-style foldable phones aren't too expensive.
Ahh Bridget always nice to see her, had a crush on her since 2012 lol
just imagine tim apple on stage with this, "this is the best apple folding yet, and look! its now an ipad mini! btw it costs 3000 dollars" 😂
They will use a magnetic seal to click two separate screens together so there is no crease.
The screen on the Vision Pro is curved so maybe they were experimenting with folding OLEDs for that. We know that they had been working on the headset for years.
its not a gimmick its actually useful a phone and tablet in one
Sheep are just hatin 😂😅
A foldable would be nice if it could take the place of the iPad mini, including note taking. But, just as one more device, it doesn’t add much except for a clever design, and you know Apple is going to charge top dollar.
More moving parts means potentially more problems. I’m content with the candy bar form factor. I really enjoy your style of presentation Bridget.
I'm not an Apple fan but if Apple does makes a folding phone you don't have to buy it.
I'm quite sure they're still going to have the candy bar style phones the world doesn't revolve around you.
At first, I wanted the white (porcelain) color of the Pixel Fold. Get the one Michael Fisher is getting. But now I'm preferring the black (or obsidian) one. I know it looks boring but I prefer the matte back finish. And when it's unfolded, it looks better. If it's white, it looks odd when opened up contrasting to the black front.
My iPhone 7, Pixel 3, and Z Flip 3 are matte black. It's a little boring but it never fails as black matches well with any other colored case. Considering I'm getting a case for it which is usually dark, getting it in either color wouldn't matter. But I'm digging that obsidian more. I'm not getting that clear case any more. The obsidian is more uniformed to the black front when opened.
I was ok with the silver iPhone X and white backs. But for a book-style foldable, it just doesn't look right when opened and the colors are so contrasting. The Pixel Fold is basically the Surface Duo 3 if Microsoft went foldable.
THIS!!! ☝️☝️☝️
Pixel Fold = Surface Duo 3. 😎👍
An iPhone mini tablet that folds into a regular slightly thicker iPhone would be amazing, I would definitely buy it. Was contemplating switching to galaxy fold 4 from my iPhone just don’t want to deal with switching everything to android ecosystem
I'm enjoying my fold 4. Glad I made the switch
I can't remember which iphone once almost fold if you put in your jean's pocket.
4:40 "Apple can afford to wait it out.."
Apparently, Apple can wait it out to innovate and price creep all the while as well.
You really can't go wrong by saying that someone/some company MIGHT do something.
Foldables are done not to distinguish from apple. Foldables are produced coz they have a market and it makes sense as the next stage of evolution from the slab based ones
Not saying it couldn’t be done, but should it? Feels like re-merging iPadOS and iOS for a single class of phones would be redundant.
I thinking folding phones are pretty cool, but I also don’t think the tech is quite there yet. A few of my friends with folding phones have had screens issues and had to get replacements. Even now with the replacements even I cringe when they open their phones and see cracks starting again in the middle.
Jealousy is an ugly thing
@@soberanisfam1323 I’m definitely jealous of the concept, but not the execution so far.
I really want a foldable phone so it can fit into my pant’s pocket. I like the helpful photo taking features of both the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 and now new Razr+. I am currently entrenched in the whole Apple ethos however, so if Apple makes a flip phone that’s an easier decision to make.
Bridget's voice, intonation, and facial expressions always crack me up. She's got some serious talent for humor, and I have to admit, she's also surprisingly tech-savvy for a comedian!
I have the galaxy Fold 4. I love it over my iPhone. But, google just nailed the form factor of the Foldables. This is how I wished Samsung implemented to fix the aspect ratio of both front and inner screen.
Nah samsung nailed the form factor..I prefer portrait mode over landscape in a tablet especially a smaller tablet and the samsung is so easy to hold due to its slimmer form factor.. think remote control vs notepad.. what is easier to hold/use one handed?
How about a folding Apple Watch?
I need my regular Bridget fix. I do not need a folding phone.
I remember when all touch displays were plastic, I don't want to return to that. I like having a well built solid metal frame with a glass screen. I like having a device that has as few moving parts as possible and lasts for 10 years or more so I can give it to my niece when I upgrade and she can still have plenty of use out of the device.
I guess that's a fundamental difference, as part of a younger generation like myself, we all see electronics, especially phones, as consumables. My current idea is "use it until it breaks" and that is a consumable mindset. I don't think in terms of "It will last 10 years" because I start saving for my next phone immediately after getting whatever I use, and when the front and back glass crack, and my battery is no longer holding 4ish hours of charge, I go to the newer, more exciting technology in that usually 3-4 years later. What do you think?❤️
My samsung s5 still works great and it is a plastic phone...almost 10 years old.
I don’t want a folding phone. Cant stand the creased
All don’t have the cease.
i just got a z fold the crease doesnt bother me at all
apple should make a phone between the iPad mini 6 and iPhone pro max size with an edge to edge. vs a foldable. the durability of a fold is not great with fold, screens with peel and fall apart.
I just recently purchased an iPhone 14 pro max, and I didn't really go for the Samsung foldable because I'm not really embedded in the google ecosystem, besides it's price point. My manager Fred however bought the Samsung foldable and he uses it every day for business, and it seems to suit him just fine, so he has the best of both worlds where I would need a phone AND a tablet, but he has both in one with one data package from his carrier. Does that mean I would go for a foldable apple iPhone? I might consider it, I would wait for reviews to come out and to get a little into the coverage before making an informed decision, but it would be nice to have the combination of an iPhone AND a iPad. I would strongly consider it.
iPhone users never need a feature until Apple tells them they need it. I remember when Samsung launched the Gear S smartwatch with cellular connection and you could make calls directly from the watch. All the. Apple fans said it was a gimmick until 3yrs later when they added it & all the tech reviewers celebrated.
@@LChatmanFL I have an Apple Watch but I just bought the wifi model and I tether it to my iPhone with Bluetooth, I’m not someone who really needs the full functionality of the cellular chip in a watch, because I’m not an extreme hiker, mountain climber or a diver. It’s built nicely though and it works for me and my own personal situation. Also I will say I think Samsung actually manufactures the iPhones screens. The conversation is about foldable phones and I must say that if a product like the one talked about does eventually make it to market and it is widely adopted, it would be good for both Apple AND Samsung. Also I think they own each others stocks, same with google and Microsoft, who apparently didn’t succeed in launching a foldable phone.
Not everyone will want to pay extra for the untethered feature but it is handy when you forget your phone at home by accident but have your watch. It is super useful when going to water parks. I leave my phone and can still make calls to family from wherever, lazy river etc.
@@LChatmanFL yeah water parks make sense for the use of a watch with cellular.
I like my iphone 12 pro max. But the standard form factor of smartphones has stagnated a bit. I don’t see a reason to upgrade any time soon. however if they make a flippy flippy 👀
I'd love to see a folding iPhone, but Apple seems to shy away from certain innovations in favor of not killing off existing products. For example, a touch screen Mac would likely kill larger iPad. Likewise, a folding iPhone would kill the smaller iPads... Today, Apple can sell iPhones, iPads, and Macs because key features don't overlap.
If iPhone sells dropped, then they'd launch the folding iPhone, which they likely already have developed. Same is true of Mac books. If their sells dropped, then they'd launch touch screen Macs.
So IMHO, demand will drive innovation... right now, they have a good demand for their feature absent products.
A foldable iPhone wouldn't kill the iPad Mini because not everyone wants a foldable device.
They can literally coexist within Apple's product offerings.
The one thing that could potentially kill another product is MacOS on iPads. THAT would at least tarnish Macbook sales.
I honestly think you’re onto something. Although this is true, it’s also probably because Apple wants to introduce in screen Touch ID and all screen iPhone before the iPhone Fold. The fold will probably sell for $2000-2500 so it would have to have features that aren’t in the standard and Pro models.
Dual screen phones could have been a really nice, cheaper way to achieve this. The screen surface area would have still been useful despite the visible separation.
Except no one bought it. Even LG had their version of dual screen phones and no one bought it.
Microsoft Surface Duo was a flop, as was their second attempt. I use my fold 4 as my main driver for work, and the split screen abilities have improved my workflow exponentially.
Being able to pin 2 or 3 screens (sometimes more) to get work done is a gamechanger. The fact that the iPhone still can't properly multitask is inexcusable, especially with the phablet sizes available since the XS Max launched, and that was 2018.
If this new iOS announcement fails to impress outside of gimmicks and flashy marketing, I'm going to move away from the platform fully once my X stops working.
Pixel Fold = Surface Duo 3.
A internal-dual-screen phone isn't necessary when you can have a single large foldable display that has properly optimized software features for next-level multitasking.
I do really want apple to do a folding phone more than an iPad.
I just want a round Apple Watch, man
I chuckle every time I see a square watch on someone 😅
Probably be 2k for the iPhone Fold Pro
I don't even want to know how much Apple will charge for a foldable phone.😬😳
I'll tell you one thing the sheep won't be able to afford both the iPhone fold and the vision pro 😅😂😂
I can imagine the price…😐$2599. You’ll see!!
I want a folding iPhone, but only if it’s in the clamshell format. That way I can clap it shut to finish a call. I miss that so much.
I'm trying to hold off moving to Android because I need a bigger screen aka a folding phone, but it's becoming increasingly more difficult.
These sheep's and their internal battles
@@soberanisfam1323 my entire family is in the Apple ecosystem, which is still by far the better software.
@@soberanisfam1323everyone has their priorities. By calling other sheep while they use their own money to pay for something, it’s like calling yourself out being an apple hater because you can’t afford apple products and are jealous.
@@Gladiator1972 no, a locked down os that only works well with apple products is not superior.
@@marg8315 how can't I afford an apple product when my Samsung fold 5 cost more than your iPhone xr lmaoooo
😂this is awesome love her reaction ❤️ 💯
Just look at all the foldable phones on the market, none of them has fixed folding crease issue. That crease is just unsightly.
I see a butterfly folding style IPhone being a really good step for the company. I bet the market will then flood with folding phones. I really see it taking off quite well and above expectations
I would buy a folding iPhone / iPad in a hot second!!
I doubt Apple would want their users to have an iPhone and iPad in the same frame , but who knows?
I’ve been an iPhone user since the original. Heck…it was the phone that replaced my original Motorola razor. Folding phones are fine, but not to just make a big screen even bigger. Making a phone that’s actually easy to hold and not so delicate you’re afraid to expose it to the outside world. What would, at least for the few, is for apple to retro themselves. The smooth and curvaceous original iPhone was actually made to hold. It fit the palm of a HumanHand. If screen size is an issue, the 14 pro and pro max are fine. Just give it a form factor that actually fits the HumanForm. That’s my two cents. Or in the case of a mobile phone, $799+
thing is it would be very nice to have a folding iphone! less space to take up and easier to glance at. i carry mine on my hip son if it could fit in a smaller holster that would be great!
Im pretty sure the iphone 6 was the first folding phone so apple does have a folding phone but they discontinued it
Apple should make one ,,,,, that Galaxy fold 5 really has my attention,, and ive been owning an iphone for over 10 years......
Foldables are made for multitasking. Apple and multitasking don't belong in the same sentence.
I can't believe that you say other manufacturers making foldables just because they want to be different from Apple. Nobody wants to "be different " as badly as Apple who “invented” the dynamic island while everyone has been ditching the punch hole years ahead.
When I'm hungry, one of my favourite things to do is to chop a block of cheese and fold a slice of bread around it-chop, fold, done-and I have protein, carbs, and fats in 5 seconds flat, in a delicious, cost effective, high fibre meal for one, that I take great pleasure in, again, for five seconds flat. If you could apply this efficiency to an app on a smartphone due to the fact that it folded, then I may see a point in it. Otherwise, the last folding smartphone I saw didn't work out too well; my mum had it in her back pocket as she sat down. To be fair, I don't think any brand of smartphone is tested to withstand that kind of extreme pressure and strain, but needless to say, it certainly looked and worked a lot better when it wasn't folded! The phone died, but on the plus side, my mum's now gone on a diet-so more effective than any fitness app whilst the phone lived! In conclusion, if a folding phone is the 'twist', then ironically, I'll 'fold' thank you.
Since Apple dances to the beat of its own drum.....Rollable.
I’ve dropped my 12 pro max too many times to even count, any foldable would’ve just turned to dust but mine is still perfectly fine, if only ridiculously scratched. Anyone expecting phones to last more than 2 years should avoid foldables like the plague.
Does your iPhone 12 fold?
If it doesn't then it wouldn't just break because it fell.
If you dislike a foldable because it'll break even it falls don't try to downplay it's use.
I use ny fold 4 without a case since day 1 and I've dropped my fold 4 5-6 times...just has scuffs...I have samsung care tho...
Am Apple foldable phone would be and IFold 😂.
We are all for it ; just imagine the Mi mix 3 or the Magic V2 with all the apple code of design and software.
Marvelous
I would love to see Apple come out with a foldable phone ASAP! I've been an iPhone user since the beginning but switched to Samsung back in 2020 for the Z Fold 2. I'm currently using Z Fold 4 but will switch to Pixel Fold.
Same here. The fold 4 is the only reason I left apple after so many years. I'm just waiting for apple to make a folding phone so that I can go back.
@@TheTekEffect That makes no sense because iOS will never offer the freedom that Android does.
iOS doesn't even have a TRUE file manager. 🤣🤣🤣
iOS on a foldable iPhone won't change the superiority of the Z Fold series.
Foldable is all about multitasking, split screen etc in which still aren't available in ios. Lol wait till 2050 for first apple foldable
@PSYCHO I came to samsung because of its folding technology, that's it. I don't need a computer phone. I just need a phone to be a phone so all the extra nonsense goes out the window for me. I will go back to apple if they make a folding phone. I don't care about freedom, superiority, and what not just give me a folding phone apple and I say apple because their hardware is great.
@@PSYCHOV3N0Mnot even ipads have true multitasking forget iphones
Sometimes I wish Apple wouldn’t wait so long before releasing their “new exclusive innovative feature” that other phone manufacturers have previously released 4 to 5 years ago. As for Apple foldable’s I suspect we won’t see them until at least 2026 & be priced way above the £1700-1800 that Samsung & google currently charge. I’d like to see an iPad Pro style foldable that folds into quarter of its size and can be used as a phone when in that form factor. Well I can at least dream
Apple still has the notch.
they dont risk the market. They play not to loose. With Steve Jobs was different He innovated the market
It could be an iphone/ipad mini with M3
AR/VR is going to replace EVERYTHING…phone, tablet, laptop, computer, TV.
I want a Pixel that flips
Yes I want an i fold 😊
