Not loving the Back Bulge. At some point you have to consider whether it would be far more aesthetically pleasing to simply increase the phone’s thickness uniformly. Increasing the thickness doesn’t mean they have to stuff more heavy junk inside the chassis. Having a small amount of growth margin inside the chassis could potentially allow them to keep the same external form factor (and case compatibility) for several model years while still modifying the internals.  A slightly thicker, sleek, but well-balanced phone would still be very popular.

Yeah, I know, pragmatism has no place in the highly competitive handset market where everyone wants to be the thinnest and newest design on the market. But when you look at the automotive marketplace the highest volume and highest profit segment seems to be pickup trucks and SUVs and there’s nothing thin or elegant about these beasts. Pickups and SUVs, and even luxury brands like BMW, Porsche, and Jaguar keep getting bigger, thicker, and trending towards the Panzer Tank school of design philosophy, so who really knows whether thin, slim, and sexy will soon give way to thick, chunky, and bulldog face designs in the smartphone market as well.

The Fold seems to be the definition of an epic product failure.  Compared to that, Apple's withdrawal of its wireless charger is quite tame.

What I like about Apple is that they will not release a product untiled it meets their quality standards. That is why I always buy Apple products.
