Easy win. Take my money.
I think it looks pretty interesting but I can’t imagine basically two phones stacked on top of each other (e.g. when it’s folded) fitting into my jeans…and holding this unfolded phone looks unwieldy. It’s basically an iPad mini haha.
Apple typically isn’t the first to do something. They’re the first to do it right. They like to sit back and let others go through growing pains and mistakes before coming in and doing what everyone else should’ve done from the start.As I sit here, eagerly awaiting my iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB, Ultra 2 watch and USB-C Airpods Pro this Friday, I look at my backup phone, a Galaxy Fold 5 1TB. It's a really good phone and a lot of fun to use. I so badly want to make it my primary.
But...
I've been using iPhones for 15 years now and I can't get away from the ecosystem. I enjoy the integration of iOS with my Mac and iPad. I love the simple (and full) backups and restores. I love not having to convert iTunes content to remove the DRM if I want to put it on Android. The iOS app store tends to have less junk. I'm used to the iPhone's quirks and gestures. I often make iOS gestures on the Android, due to force of habit.
Come on Apple, where's your folding phone? Then it wouldn't even be a choice which platform to go with.
If Samsung released this I am wholly uninterested. If Apple releases this I will evangelize it until the end of time.Thoughts on this?
Very nice! I want to travel internationally. Dubai is definitely on the top list. Planning on going there next yeah. Hopefully, It actually happens this time.
To each his or her own, but I find the foldable phones gimmicky.
RIP for those who wants to request a ups cc hold 😭😭😭I think this is our answer regarding picking up at the UPS Customer Center or Access Point... Shoot.

Because they are all half baked at the moment IMO. The Apple foldable will come. Device hinges have drastically gotten so good. I am willing to drop 2k on an iPhone that turns into an iPad mini....what a banger that will be.
I would definitely get a folding iPhone, and this mock-up is what I think of. But I would get get the gen 1 folding iPhone I’d get the gen 2. That way all the folding bugs have been mostly worked out.
I do agree on the point that they’re half baked now and we know that Apple perfects designs/functionality/etc. I’d be open to checking out what Apple designs in this space but I just can’t imagine working with a phone that big. Will be interesting to see what they come up with at least.Because they are all half baked at the moment IMO. The Apple foldable will come. Device hinges have drastically gotten so good.

Why is the internal dynamic island so wide? Besides that, awesome.
I find flip foldables gimmicky. I’ve still yet to hear what the use case is for a flip foldable other than saving a marginal amount of bag/pocket space.To each his or her own, but I find the foldable phones gimmicky.
I don't know what I'm going to do... I'm going to be at work all day on Friday.RIP for those who wants to request a ups cc hold 😭😭😭

The majority of its remaining faults are attributable to Android and the lack of 3rd party app support for the folding screen. But that’s just Android.Samsung's isn't half baked. It’s quite refined at version 5.

Well that is an interesting twist…Shanghai. First one I’ve seen on here that has that.Looks like I’m part of wave 1?
I want to have the money to live on Miami BeachTravel is the only thing money can buy that makes you richer 😂. PS Fun fact 48 states in USA (have to sleep there..no passing by) I have learned so much...Enough to know I want to live on Miami Beach 🙏🇺🇸💛🙏
The renders never show you the thick folded cross sections
There’s really no connection between how well a company is doing and if they do layoffs. My (former) company laid off thousands of people and then announced massive stock buybacks that would make everyone they laid off a millionaire. Not to mention my manager and the manager working for him assuring our team everyone was fine before at least a quarter of our team got laid off.Haha I'm guessing by Tuesday our iPhones will be having some movement out of China hopefully!!! It is hard to keep up with all the posts here. I don't want to miss anything, so I try to read every post. Conferences are tough!! Hopefully there's good wifi so you can catch up during lunch or your break. We'll be missing your presence on Tuesday!
Yes, I started this job in January 2023. It's going super well and I'm glad I made the transition over into Product Management. Hopefully, my company doesn't do any layoffs as it seems the tech industry is still doing layoffs. I think we are doing well financially, but you just never know what to believe anymore. 😬
Lol I put in PTO for every Friday in September so I can focus on preorder and launch day. Work can literally eat my shorts during the month of September.You feel a cough coming on...
