Phones are completely boring now, colours should not be newsworthy but they always get a mention because everything else moves at snail's pace.

At least Jobs had vision to push innovation.

They're "boring" because they're at their limit. The form factor can do what it can do.

Foldables will eventually enhance the experience, but the materials that are available don't do the job. Until then there's only iteration.

Foldables are never going to take off.

What we really need is rollables. Give me a scroll type phone please.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's a lot less viable than a foldable is. It's absolutely an improvement in theory, but that doesn't mean we can do it any time soon.
