  Did you say folding phone? Ew

  I think you’ll find it’s the new iPhone 17 with dynamic flex technology and that Tim Cook will repeatedly say on stage that this has “never been done before”.

    But what apple specific non standard proprietary shit will they implement that Hou will have to buy from them for 20 times the price that competitors offer the equivalent. This is the interesting question.

      The case for one - do you want a case without _Dynamic Flex_©®™ compatibility like some commoner?

      I would have previous said a folding lightning cable connector, but the EU have saved me the bother.

  Me too, because in spite of marketing garbage the product will probably be best in class or at least providing competition thereof.

  It would be the height of stupidity to copy the bending screen fad. It would also cannibalise sales on their product lines.
