  • How Apple could approach a folding iPhone

    I don't understand the mass-market use case for a foldable phone. The way the vast majority of us utilize a phone - constantly referencing and glancing at it for dozens of tasks, from morning to night, who wants to constantly open and close it? What purpose does it serve? It will only be thicker to put in your pocket.

    Perhaps there is some use case for the iPad, given its use is a bit more measured and purposeful, and perhaps it integrates a digital keyboard into the foldout. Still, I cannot envision it having very large interest.
    This is exactly why I think the foldable phone is a non-starter for the vast majority of users. Open up your Screen Time and look at the number of pickups, it’s probably going to be a lot more than you realize. Now imagine having to unfold your phone that many times per day.

    " Many of the first foldable devices were plagued by reliability issues"

    I'm unaware of any foldable phone being plagued with reliability issues. Quite the opposite is true.

    AFAIK, all folding phones that have come to market have had great reliability so far. 

    For the Samsung Fold, many review units were damaged by reviewers trying to remove a screen coating that should not have been removed.

    Once that was corrected, along with some further design enhancements, the units that were released performed well.


    The old argument from ignorance. Moveable parts will always be less reliable then a solid device. Battery covers, hinges, etc, they all break over time. It’s called wear and tear. Nobody seems to be buying foldable phones and I don’t expect that the change any time soon.

    Yeah and Joe-schmo blasting away with a gun at a coffee shop is more likely to kill innocent people than the perpetrators.
    Name one instance where the good guy with the gun who stopped a criminal ended up killing innocent bystanders.

  • Apple expected to further diversify MacBook production within China

    It’s still in China. 

    So not really diversification. 

    It really does suck knowing that a percentage of just about every purchase I make with Apple goes to the Chinese dictatorship (regardless of which of the dictator’s buildings the product is made in). 
    Everyone sees the problem with relying too much on China for production but nobody seems to want to the change needed to solve the problem.

    I would gladly pay more for Apple products if they were manufactured in America or anywhere else other than China for that matter.
