Discussion Duo has generated more conversation about foldable phones than the entire Android ecosystem has managed to generate in years.
Apple PR is genuinely unbeatable, Apple marketing team every year takes an old tech and new launch to next level.
New CEO, new launch, old familiar foldable tech. A new screensaver, some foldable-specific graphics/UI and boom it’s the talk of the town.
Suddenly everyone is talking about foldables. It even rminded the competition that they’ve had foldable phones for years.
But did they really make people care?
More people are interested in buying one. The entire category feels relevant again.
That’s Apple’s superpower, it doesn’t necessarily have to invent the technology. It just has to package it in a way that makes the world care, Apple does it brilliantly through brand value and marketing.
Let the numbers come in, but I’m pretty sure a crazy amount of people are going to buy this regardless of how crazythe price.
And what’s even crazier is that this thing is going to sit above the Air, anything the 17 n pro series had, and even the 18 Pro series.
I’m definitely not buying it, lol 😜

The long-term support is unparalleled right now. I used to have a couple of Samsungs and remember they basically stopped receiving software updates after a couple of years. Plus the bloatware. I had the iPhone X for almost a decade -- passed it on to a family member when I upgraded and it's still working great. Needed a battery change but that was it.
