Surely they at least thought about adding a thick border to prevent the screens from rubbing together, right?

ah that phone went a week without charging, which has as much to do with how much we used phones back as with how fast smart phones deplete battery.

If they weren't a bazillion dollars I would love a tri-screen foldable (if it supported Graphene).

Ahhh, for the old days! When the phone was bolted to the wall in the hallway and had a 3ft/1m cord! Those things were capable of lasting for a generation without issue. They just weren't very portable. And long distance rates were a thing. And party lines.*

Apple's next model will be a super unfolding one. Then some junior exec will let slip, "wait, it's a tablet". Then some senior exec will say, this could be good. We'll call the phone Model XV-19 and we'll call the tablet Model XT-20 and sell two streams with only one product!". Oh, Apple...what have you wrought, you evilly clever capitalists you.

It's amazing isn't it that this product category has been around for nearly a decade and then apple come in with their version of the product and its back to generation 1. The whole point of Apple waiting around is so they can steal everybody else's innovations.
