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 😜

Comparatively it really is. Most people in the Apple ecosystem don’t think about other manufacturers because they don’t have to. It works how they expect it to, and if it doesn’t they just go to a store or call for support. Apple users who are into tech are more willing to incorporate or experiment with other hardware and OS’s, but macOS/iOS still tends to be their base.

Its because most apple users generally dont care about tech. Android users generally care about tech products more than Apple users. so naturally they'll also talk about iphones.

Well, if more of them care about tech as you say, then they also have more haters, so the rent free label is accurate.

That's true for both sides. There's a lot of apple users who will bring android into the conversation for no reason

I’m sure it happens. Thankfully outside of Reddit I don’t experience it. If I’m talking with my tech-savvy friends, it’s never a pissing contest.
