@ozzelot @fasterandworse holy fuck this one already has the exact screen damage all folding phones develop! it starts with a column and a blob of dead pixels then it starts flickering then sometimes you lose a big part of one screen

A few devices like that were really fun, like the dual display case for LG phones. You could have a normal slab, or pop on a case, and have two screens for multi-tasking. I wish a company would bring that accessory back.
@ozzelot @fasterandworse oh wow, another one with damage
I’m literally just looking for what the apps look like and getting these
@ozzelot @fasterandworse jesus god, these things just came out didn’t they? I didn’t lose consciousness and they came out several months ago?
@ozzelot @fasterandworse also wait is that linus tech tips and… one of his dickhead friends possibly? in the photo widget?
@ozzelot @fasterandworse > Apple’s innovative $1,999 folding phone is alluring for plenty of reasons, but comes with the trade-offs of a first-generation product
I’m doing a Benoit Blanc “no! it’s just dumb!” at this because it would take a significant advancement in materials science and then the commercialization of that advancement to make this product any good
@ozzelot @fasterandworse the problem with this thing isn’t that it isn’t ready. the problem with this thing is it’s just a folding phone, a thing we already had. folding phones aren’t first-gen tech anymore, they just suck
@zzt @ozzelot @fasterandworse The one, ONE foldable device that would've maybe been cool was the Microsoft Courier. It didn't have a fucking seam down the middle to turn the screen into a wear component. They killed it in the concept phase iirc.
