True. Folding phones are stupid, almost noone will buy them and they will eventually stop producing them.

But not so for LLMS, they don't function through basic market mechanisms, since they exist through the AI circlejerk bubble. They will keep pushing LLMs, incorporating it into more and more until the entire UI of the phone is just one LLM which you have to interact with to make it do anything.

    the only people I see with foldables are people who buy their phones from their carriers on payment plans.

    The trick is to buy last year's foldable for around 1/3 used.

    I got my fold 7 a month before 8 was announced for 1/3 of the price of a new 8 Ultra , it's even running oneui 9 now. Not much has changed.

    i have one, i didn't get it on a plan. i love it (its a Moto 50 Ultra flip) small outside screen can do lots of things, folds up tiny in my pocket.

    Got my Moto 50u really cheap, 50% off and had a $300 gift certificate about to expire (here in Australia)

    Like the Samsung Fold 8 for many of the same reasons but im not rich, so maybe when the Fold 10 comes out and there's a clearance sale :) ... but would never go back to a slab now.
