iPhone vs Android

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I hope you're not trying to say only morons would break the foldable screen. Apparently, some screens also broke without anyone removing the protective layer and Samsung has delayed the launch to improve the phones. Something about the possibility that dirt would enter at the hinges and potentially cause these issues. Though at that point your comparison is quite good, given how an M16 would also not react too well to dirt entering it at the "hinges".

Just so. Despite the "superiority" of one design in a purely technical sense, it ran into trouble when operated in less than ideal conditions or by under-skilled operators.

I don't really get the purpose though of foldable screens - why? I mean, what's wrong with a clear crisp big one?

However big your big screen is, the folded one can always be bigger or twice as big. It's probably partially because many people use their mobile phones as their only or main electronic device but deep in their hearts they know that a proper screen of 27" or above is so much better. So they try to get bigger and bigger ones.

Personally I see my phone as a mobile extension of my computer, don't use it a lot when I can access my computer instead and stopped paying for more than a midrange phone that is small enough to fit into my pocket so I don't need an extra handbag for my phone.
But I guess priorities differ, I also build my computers myself (not the parts, but you know what I mean).

It's super unconfortable to have a large phone in your pocket - that's why I avoid any big phone like the iPhone XR to be honest. iPhone 7/8 or the equivalent Samsung is perfect.

Anything bigger is a nuisance.

This will be probably a big hit on the market - and so far OnePlus has exceeded expectations and sales too.

OnePlus has been doing a good job.

Speaking of someone not doing a good job... BlackBerry. I was looking recently at in depth reviews of the BlackBerry Key2 LE, which still has a physical keyboard, the hallmark of BlackBerry.
