TLDR

@CyrilH44 posted that nobody explained why anyone would want a folding phone. @wildgooseALT noted the Razr shrinks vertical pocket size while other models simply enlarge into tablets. @daveaitel described unfolding the device for PDF reading once eyes age past 40. @shanewallick suggested makers should have refined the technology first, citing improvements in the Z Fold 8. @WillysWinners asked why anyone would want a folding iPhone. @ProgressiveVic called the pocketable iPad idea impractical.

@CyrilH44Nobody has told me why the fuck I would want a folding phone21d
@ProgressiveVic@VautismSpeaks In the ideal sense it would be to have a normal iPad that can be shrunk to fit in your pocket. The problem is that’s stupid.20d
@shanewallick@happerexxx @OutofGalaxyy They could’ve waited and improved the tech. The Z Fold 8 is much better20d
@daveaitelWhen you turn a certain age, typically 40, your eyes can't focus on the teeny tiny text on a normal phone. So when you want to read a PDF, you unfold your phone. And because you have a real job, you spend a lot of time trying to read PDFs. Also you can afford an expensive phone.20d
@WillysWinnersWhy in the fuck would I want an iPhone that folds?20d
@wildgooseALTThe Razr makes sense because it gives the phone a much smaller vertical profile in your pocket. These are just bigger phones that turn into tablets.20d
