The next big upgrade to Apple’s mobile devices could be foldability, according to multiple reports published Sunday. According to The Wall Street Journal,
I hope they don't so I can enjoy my superior clamshell designs in peace.
Last thing I need is a bunch of braindead apple users getting hyped up over features Nintendo made 2 decades ago, followed by every Android OEM realizing they can stop improving the hardware and downgrade the hinge to save 5 cents on every device produced.
Not to mention foldables require a minimum semblance of device care, which I can personally assure you most phone owners do not have.
Screw that, I want them to work like Earth: Final Conflict. Don’t fold, roll up into a handle that also contains the camera and other non-screen bits. No crease if it never creases.
It even had portrait and landscape modes based on how much of it you pulled out. Portrait mode shown above.
I loved this idea at the time but... that roll out screen would just break on every use. That and I doubt people would want a two handed user experience. Plus, how would you text?
