Foldable phones look and work like shit. Not a shock that Apple wants nothing to do with a silly fad— not until it’s worth it for them.
I am on my second foldable phone, and on my fourth year using them. Not only does your statement is not true, you probably never even touched a single foldable.
Looks? Subjective. I personally love the form factor. Works like shit? In your dreams.
Which do you have? Genuinely curious, never used the modern ones, but assumed they’d be shit/very fragile
Not op, but I have the galaxy fold 3 and it's amazing. I've had it for 3 years and I can't go back to normal phones. And I've heard the same from many others that got their first foldable.
I've had both the Samsung Fold 2 and now the Pixel Fold
N cer had any issues with them
The screens are pretty fragile, however they're protected when folded. Just don't drop them onto anything while open....
Other than that they're surprisingly robust. I've had 2 Moto Razr models and a Samsung Z Fold. First Razr did break the screen by leaving it open in a stupidly precarious position and it hit a piece of metal below directly on the folding screen when it fell. But day to day use I never worried about it.
Right now a Fold 6; the previous one I had was the 3.
