iPhone vs Android

[Husar]

Apparently the screen has some protective layer that some mistook for a transport protection and removed it, causing the screen to die after only two days of use. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...me-test-models

Several publications, including Bloomberg News, outlined a bevy of problems with test versions of the device, which folds inward like a notebook. Bloomberg’s review unit experienced issues after a plastic protective layer was removed on Monday. By Tuesday night, a small tear had developed at the top of the hinge, where the gadget opens. Then the display failed to operate properly.

There are several questions that I have, like how well does that protection sit if they could easily remove it? IIRC one reviewer said he removed it after it had partially come off by itself. The folding is said to last for "up to 200,000 times", is that really enough if you want to use it for more than 2 years or so (it's quite expensive and given this, the resale price after 2 years may be quite low)? And if it's up to, then what is the lower end?

Not to say that being able to enlarge the screen of a mobile device isn't cool, I'm just wondering whether it's really ready and sturdy technology yet. And whether it is worth the enormous price of 1,980$ according to the above article. I guess I'll wait until it has arrived in 300$-phones, tablets and notebooks.
