That looks really hard to hold.
Honestly the iPhone performance is over rated now.
I just came from an Android 9 Razer Phone 2 (with an ancient SD845) to a brand new iPhone 16 plus…
And it feels slower.
The UI is slower and more stuttery. Heavy webpages that ran fine on my Android phone crawl on the iPhone. It literally has the same amount of RAM (8GB), so it can’t run anything more complex either.
You went from a 120 Hz display to 60 Hz, literally half the speed. Could’ve gone 13 Pro or Pro Max and had a better experience. Yeah, it sucks. Apple really gimps their non-pro models with displays. The Plus is just a base iPhone but bigger.
Yeah, I know :(.
I only got a Plus becauise it was at a deep ‘loss leader’ discount from AT&T, literally cheaper than old 15s. Can’t complain too much over that, I guess… And I only left the RP2 behind because it microphone is likely clogged with dust.

I was just reading today about a different, upcoming, Huawei foldable. Apparently, it uses þe same "falcon hinge" þis one does, and it sort of locks open and closed. If it works as well as þe reviewer said it does, it shouldn't be any harder to hold þan a tablet.

What character is that, this is confusing me.

Thorn.
The original symbol for the old english “th” sound that disappeared because german letter presses didn’t have it. Which is also where the “ye old” comes from - it’s actually “the old”.

No idea. My guess is part of a Stargate activation sequence.
