Meanwhile, Apple’s competition is increasingly investing in alternative form factors to the standard glass rectangle — and folding phones in particular are having a real moment.
The real watershed moment for foldable phones for me is the arrival of the terrific OnePlus Open, which just launched to a very positive critical reception among YouTubers and reviewers.
The OnePlus Open manages to address a lot of the minor annoyances and failings of other premium folding smartphones out there on the market — and does so on a debut device for a company with a reputation for quality at a fair price.
This has historically worked very well for the iPhone-maker, but it does occasionally leave the company looking a bit flat-footed or behind when competitors spend considerable time and attention iterating on some experiment and ushering it to a mature state.
The fact remains though that it’s still something Apple hasn’t even touched, unless it’s doing so in its labs and is already multiple iterations deep in unreleased test hardware, which is certainly possible.
The company is of course still selling obscene amounts of hardware, and the iPhone 15 is doing at least good, if not at the level of some of its really revolutionary releases for the smartphone.
