Report: Apple is testing foldable iPhones, having the same problems as everyone else::Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

Did anyone ask for folding phones?

[-] ccdfa@lemm.ee 17 points 9 months ago

I live in Korea and I see the Samsung foldable phones in the hands of like every 5th person, so yeah I'd say they sell

Interesting. Seattle, Washington pretty tech centric city, I've only seen the one guy. Mostly a 80/20 split between Iphone/Samsung flagship phones.

The US in general is obsessed with iPhones, more so than pretty much all other developed countries

That's different than people asking for them. Between status symbols and advertising you can sell anything, weather it was asked for or not. On a real level the whole industry of advertising is to get people to buy things they wouldn't buy otherwise.
