I have a friend with a foldable phone and it works wrt screen. The thing I can’t get over is the thickness because it seems too thick for a back pocket.
I personally believe it's not supposed to be pocketed but to be backpacked. They're trying to encourage less phone usage, you should use your watch for immediate notifications and only get your phone out to use it for taking a picture, drawing something with the apple pencil or another task that requires a phone. Most everything else should be done by the watch though.
I think the biggest issue with that direction of technology is that pretty much every Android smart watch sucks. There isn't anything in the Android ecosystem that's comparable to the apple watch.
So? What does that have to do with Apple pushing this philosophy? It's not their fault there isn't an equivalent in the Android world.
Eh? I never said there was. I merely pointing out that it's not a direction that the phone market in general is moving.
I didn't say this was the direction the phone market was moving though. I stated this is how their devices are supposed to be used.
