Folding phones are flimsy bits of plastic-screened crap that are just as expensive as two separate, better phone and tablet. And many apps barely work anyway.

Glyph interface is a pointless gimmick.

Under-screen cameras produce terrible images.

There are lots of reasons to hate Apple, but none of these are.

I mean I'm on my fold 5 right now while watching a YouTube video and responding to messages at the same time... doesn't feel like a gimmack to me. In fact I kind of feel like it's going to be hard to ever go back to a single form factor phone.

Tbh you can do that on a regular phone using a popup player on YouTube (I recommend NewPipe).

Now the true reason to be excited for fold phones is DS and 3DS emulation 🧐

Kind of, yeah. But the foldable gives a tablet experience that you just fold and put in your pocket. It's epic.

Very true about 3DS...
