@wra my bad, I should have been clearer. I was riding on the context of today's news about Apple's foldable iPhones

sorry for the lack of clarity, folks. I should have said "smartphones with foldable displays" -- I was too close to the recent news that Apple is going to make foldable smartphones.

@datn That might be cool, but I worry about the devices being overly fragile.

@datn My vote applies to flip phones. I had one for a decade, still the phone I had the longest. Still regret having to replace it because the battery died.

@datn I'm a combination of 2 and 5. It sounds like it would be really useful to have, but I would worry about lifetime.

@datn I'm abstaining because I wasn't in the market for a cell phone when the Motorola StarTAC came out

I'm intrigued by recent folding phones but I tend to keep my phones a really long time so I've stuck to the glowing glass rectangle variety because I think they would last longer

@datn@xoxo.zone Foldable device, great, space for physical buttons. Foldable screen, not for me.
