    I really don’t want Apple to enter this market because then all the current OEMs will just be even more incentivized not to make generational advancements, and to just copy Apple’s Chinese grade quality to sell more slop because idiots will buy.

    Google already threw a grenade with their subpar pixel fold and then Samsung magically swapped off snapdragon for their zflip. If Apple joins, next they’ll start using plastic for the shell and still charge $999.

    People who think this won’t be a competitive product can just look to the past 20 years of Apple successfully selling stupid shit for exorbitant prices. I would even bet money it comes with an even deeper crease than current gen foldables against the “new hinge tech” hype this guy is claiming.
