Hear me out: Foldable phones might look cool, but they don’t add significant value compared to traditional smartphones. The durability concerns, extra weight, and high costs don’t seem justified for what they offer in terms of functionality.
Do you agree, or do you think foldables are the future of mobile tech? Let’s have a friendly debate!
Foldables solve two problems, one consumer and one business.
Consumer problem: phones are unweildly and large. Folding allows optimal screen space in addition to a return to portability.
Business Problem: how to make people upgrade their phone every year when we can make phones that last 5-10 years+ easily? Make a folding phone that will absolutely break within a year or two tops. It is not a negative pattern like pre-1980s spark plugs or modern LED light bulbs that should never burn out but do; so governments have no reason or legal avenue to pursue.
