Yeah but they stopped being consistent with the "doing it right" part a long time ago.

But wrapping everything in a proprietary fence (special connectors, blocked rms bridge, etc) is the very essence of the problem.

people drove with those 🙄

A$3,500 is crazy

I see people using them with some regularity 🤷🏻‍♂️ not for me though.

Speak for yourself, two time owner, they're very nice.

It's the price tag, and the fact unfolded they are using a giant squarish format.

Bring me back to the old 16:9 formats, instead. That made sense. You could watch movies, shows, and videos full-screen.

Pixel 10 Fold owner checking in 👋

Really? I thought it's visible from day 1.

I used to have a folding phone.

I've seen a few but it were never the type of people i expected. It weren't nerds or techies or dudes with expensive cars, it was middle-aged women with presumably fake designer bags. Still haven't figuresd out if these are the only people buying foldable phones or I am just not in an area that is representative of their typical buyers. At first I thought they were hand me downs from their husbands, but then I'd have seen at some point a man that might be said husband with one.

I might have about $15

dont get out much?

I don't care a lick who was first, I'm a late adopter of all tech, but it is annoying when Apple users tout new features as if they're the first to experience them. It's the condescension that's annoying, especially when it's so misplaced

But apple is quite good at showing up late and getting market share anyway.

Other companies didn't spend a couple decades positioning themselves as a kind of tech-fashion elite. Other companies didn't charge $200 for a crossbody "pocket". So it's funniest when Apple's stupid ideas blow up in their ridiculous image-obsessed faces.

I would love to go back to July 15, 2016 because that's the day I got married 💖

My spouse and I are both still happily married, but to experience the joy of that day again

Sure, but they still slap a new name onto an existing technology and pretend they invented that shit, hence the meme.
