What do you think of foldable phones? (self.technology)

Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I'm betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

I'm pretty ingrained in the Apple ecosystem but if they came out with a phone that could be similar in size to their current phones that folded out to the size of the new mini ipad, I'd probably try it out. I love the size of the mini and that would let me have one device instead of two.

Agree on the durability issues though. I'm assuming if Apple made one they'd have that figured out but I'd need to see the reviews first.
