  I have followed this issue for a few years and have seen the non-Apple foldables.
I have yet to figure out WHY anyone wants or needs a foldable phone.  Maybe a foldable iPad (?), but I do not see the need for a foldable phone.
I came from the flip-phone generation and do not wish to go back.

Not a fan of the "cloth-like" case, especially in these times. Give me a smooth silicone case to be able to wipe down and keep clean. 

Maybe I am just old, but for me, the magic of Apple died with Steve. 

Started my failed quest at 3:01 AM EST. After 15 minutes of continued refresh on the app and the webpage, the webpage came up first at 3:15 AM.  Was able to select the space gray phone in 256 configuration. Was able to enter all info and select a pickup time from my local Apple Store on November 3rd. Yea, but when I tried to complete my order, the webpage refreshed on its own and took me back to the initial order page. No confirmation number or email for my order. I tried to go through the same process again and the ship date (no Apple Store pick-up) was mid-December! Luckily, I also logged on to ATT at the same time. Was in a queue for 1 hour. Sigh, however, I was able to select the same phone and get shipping time of Nov 3rd - 10th. Received a text from ATT this AM, saying my phone is ready for shipment. At 5:32 AM today, received an email from Apple stating "There was a problem with your order. Please try again."

Come on Apple, short supply I understand. Bad server response and unable to complete an order due to a problem on your end is unacceptable. 
  

I remember standing in front of the stage at Macworld when Steve pulled the 1st MacBook Air from the envelope.
We were stunned.
I love my MBA for when I travel, as it much better than trying to just use my iPad.
The single USB-C port MacBook is just not what I need.
It appears Apple has decided to kill off my beloved MBA, so "Just Do It" and stop the slow death.
RIP MacBook Air.
