I tried the first gen razer that came out around 2020 and it was a great phone and I adored the form factor. I got it in March and the screen stopped working in November just from normal use. I probably got one with some sort of factory defect but there were so many reports of similar failures I’ve sworn off flip phones until Apple makes a 2nd gen one.
I’ve seen them out in the wild; sure sometimes they’re cool for 20 seconds but it’s sooooo gimmicky. In fact I’d wager VR becomes mainstream before foldable phones. 🤣
So, I’m sitting here in the “library,” where I do most of my best reading, holding my mobile device in my left hand and scrolling with my right thumb. I’m trying to imagine how this would work with a widescreen foldable device, kind of like a tablet, TBH. I just can’t see it. Holding a standard normal phone is super easy, a firm grip on both sides. A foldable would require some extra gymnastics… I don’t get this “really got to have it” feeling.
Besides using it folded, just use it like a tablet. I don't like the extra weight, fragility or sometimes unconventional screen size but everything else about foldables seems fine to me.
I switched to the iPhone mini from a Razr that broke in a less than a year. It pretty much fills the same niche that made me want to get the razr (small pocketable size and one handed usability) it’s just more reliable because the hardware isn’t obscenely complicated
I would love an actual Razr that works, but foldables just seem like a cheap gimmick. I’m happy with my 13 pro, I wouldn’t want any bigger though. My wife on the other hand has no intentions of abandoning her Mini no matter what Apple offers in full size models to come. I do envy my co worker with a mini that can keep it in a sleeve pocket though.
BREAKING NEWS: Apple makes waves in the tech industry by introducing the same feature that multiple other companies have had available for several years already! ITS A TECH REVOLUTION!!!
Ignoring the software side of things, the hardware of their laptops is very nice. I prefer my Framework laptop because of access and repairability, but I can’t really fault anyone for saying the hardware of Macbooks is good.
And thanks to the folks at asahi, software is almost bearable too! Rn running fedora with their modded kernel, and it runs fairly well (some features still missing tho)
