Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that's not stopping anyone but Apple.

    Based on this article consumers overall agree with you. I’m not a fan. But my wife has a real good reason. Pockets in women’s clothes suck as they are tiny or non existent and modern smart phones even the small ones never fit. But her phone when folded does.

    I imagine we’ll go through this dance of yearly replacements until T-Mobile gets sick of it 😂

      I miss the days of tiny phones. I still use an iPhone 12 mini and it’s nearly impossible to find modern Android phones with less than a 6” screen. I don’t understand the obsession with enormous screens. Sure the flagship models could have big screens to pack in bigger batteries and more powerful components—but why is no one making a 4” phone?

        Yeah I wonder as well. My wife would rather have that but there are no choices like that anymore. What we used to consider ridiculously huge, because tablets started at 7" became the norm. To think my phone is almost the size of an entry level tablet not that long ago is wild.
