    I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.

      Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.

      (I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)

      Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.
