I have a pixel fold and it's actually just really nice to have a big screen to flip open sometimes. It's especially useful for a site that doesn't have great mobile scaling.

The price, weight and fragility need more iterations but it's a neat toy. I'm not sure it's for everyone but not everyone wants or needs a stylus either.

Yeah this is the way I feel about it. I’m not exactly clamoring for it but if someone (Apple) released a super well executed foldable phone with no major downsides I’d happily pay an extra few hundred for it at my next upgrade. Apple is probably happy to let competitors iron out all the kinks and then they’ll release an iPhone 21 Max Fold and sell a billion units.

My dental hygienist whipped out a foldable phone last week to show me a picture of her granddaughter. First time I’ve seen one in the wild. There was a very distinct thick dark line/crease down the middle of the picture… it was all I could look at.
