    This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it’s not for you that’s fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today

      And they will continue to have big ass creases visible in the folding part

        Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

          Almost no one buys a super expensive phone that has a totally new form factor without trying it out in real life before buying it

        Which foldable do you own? There is no visible crease on my Fold 7 during normal use. The only way I can see it is by placing the phone directly under a light and angling it in an unnatural direction.

        That said, my old Fold 4 had an obvious crease. But it’s no longer an issue with modern foldables.
