Ok, a couple of things...
First, that poster said anyone who returned this phone must not have been able to afford it on the basis of him thinking the phone is great. Thats a ridiculous statement so I called him out on it. Hows that me judging?
Second, my comment to SteveJUAE wasnt based on a single post, but a general way he interacts with everyone on these boards. He talks down to people and acts like any opinion that differs from his is wrong and ridicules them for it. Judging by the "likes" on my post calling him out, I'm not the only one that feels this way.
Lastly, and heres the most interesting part of your post, is that because I returned the device within 48 hours I (according to you) probably didnt even actually have the device because why else would I be so stupid as to return it already? Wow. Do we need to show receipts around here to verify purchases now before having an opinion. You seem to have a strong opinion on this phone...so Im going to need to see proof of purchase before anything you say is valid. Sound good?
Oh and apparently I cant have any more of an opinion on it than someone who played with it at Best Buy. Did that person at Best Buy have it in their hand/pocket for 48 hours like I did? Did they put over 10 hours of screen on time on it like I did? Did they test different launchers? Did they test countless split screen combinations? Did they watch a full movie on it? Did they make countless phone and video calls? Did they test almost every native app to see what flex mode offered? You get my point.
I put it through the paces of things I do everyday and tried different things that arent possible or as seamless on regular phones. In the end I judged it to be a great phone, but the benefits I gained with it over other phones werent enough in my opinion to pay a $1k premium over other flagships. Others may have a differing opinion and thats fine. But using the phone for 2 weeks vs 48 hours wasnt going to change that opinion. I saw what the phone had to offer and had plenty of time on it to form that opinion.
The ignore button is your friend...makes reading threads like these much more constructive.
The proclamation that this thread is for those interested in the Fold 2 alone is laughable. Interested doesn’t mean blind lust. I’m very interested in the Fold 2 but I’m also capable of recognizing aspects that either don’t match my needs and preferences and am also free to criticize objective weaknesses.
The belief by some here that you must own a device to be able to speak about it is just pure ********. There’s an awful out of criticism about Apple flung around these threads by people who positively don’t own all the devices they’re criticizing.
