      Lol it’s not a scam, it makes perfect economic sense. It’s just that since majority of us have so many charging bricks accrued from changing smartphones frequently, it just doesn’t make sense for companies to throw in another one in the box.
      Do note that this trend doesn’t extend to iPads and MacBooks.
      If this was in 2010, people would definitely riot given how smartphones are still taking off.

      I have been wanting to buy this one maybe in a couple of other months now. The price is high but not obnoxious considering the average price tag of any major smartphone (Even if not Apple or Samsung) so it's "normal".

      Foldables seem tempting for me as well, but I just can't justify giving up Apple's integrity when multitasking and working between devices compared to Android. I have various devices, both on Android, Windows and Apple systems, but really, I haven't found anything that can provide me with efficient workflow besides Apple. Which is the stopping factor for me when using a phone, computer or tablet, because I study and work a lot. I can only see foldables as a good alternative for leisure, and it works wonders for that (especially being able to multitask with a bigger screen), but the premium that's charged for buying a foldable just doesn't justify the leisure factor.

When you’re using it, you’re carrying another unused screen, vice versa. It’s really the same reasoning as a touch screen laptop being inefficient given how most of us will prolly never use the touch screen feature much.

Do they still have the room with all the old phones hooked up?
    Anyway, as for the phone, to me, fold phones have a looong way to go before I can see them as anything more than a fad. It's awesome, but impractical with all the sacrifices made to achieve them and the lack of app appropriate support and video aspect ratio formats. I'm more interested in the folding screens, and what that can bring to other devices in the future. So many possibilities.
