It’s weird to have a wallpaper app with a $50/yr subscription that you said isn’t finished in an iPhone review that you said is an unfinished iPhone. You’ve said yourself to “Never ever buy a tech product based on the promise of future software updates.”
Some people will. Many people probably will. Some will pay just to support mkbhd. Others will cos they find value in it. It’s not for me. And that’s ok.
Excitedly installed Panels to check it out. Realized half the content was premium only. "That's fair, I guess". Clicked in one of the free ones. Realized you still have to pay for the HD version. "Ok..." Clicked on the SD version, realized I need to watch TWO 30 second ads to download it. Uninstalled the app.
I mean, how did this app made from conception to launch with no one asking if it was a good idea to charge $50/year for jpegs. And try to justify it saying they'll be taking a bigget share than Apple does from the artists. Its insane that it was launched at all!
MKHB -“ never buy something for the promise of something it will do later “ Also MKHB -“ my app will have a lot of better things to come so go get it now “ Had to say it, love you bro!
Things you could get with 50 dollars: - a new air fryer - electric toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and deodorant - car oil and filter - a 24 pack of redbulls - 30 hotdogs from costco - a full tank of gas - 1TB of storage sata ssd - 100ft 12AWG pure solid copper wire - 120 rolls from texas roadhouse - 30 gallons of water - a yearly subscription for wallpapers on your phone 💀
Bro it has free wallpaper. I’ve already downloaded some. It’s just a subscription if you want ALL the wallpapers at full HD. I’m not getting the subscription but I am getting the free ones.
your review has been better than this entire video lmfao i’m going from a 12 to 16 and he’s just saying bad stuff about the phone like it’s obviously still good 😭😂
Fun fact: For just $50, you can use all public transportation in Germany for an entire month! That’s unlimited access to every bus, train, and subway across the whole country
@black_nicca only if you are single, not if you have family with 2 kids or your parents live with you, maybe possible if you are a daily wage earner and don't spend much on food
@@Jonathan-Palazzoyou don’t have to pay though? He clearly said it was if you wanted to support him and his team. Did you watch the video or read the comments?
@@-_YouMayFind_- You mean marques? He takes 50%. That's a huge fee for a platform. Even Steam being a monopoly on PC doesn't charge devs 50% comission.
50%?! On a wallpaper app that costs more than a netflix subscription? 50% is so much worse than google, spotify, literally any company paying artists you could think of.
He needs double down at this point and include ringtones, wait a day or two and then say it was all a joke and delete the app and maybe, just maybe will the internet forget that this occurred.
I was traumatized by Apple's ringtones. Was like 12 and got Iphone 4S. Couldn't download a song to use as alarm - bought the song, but couldn't use it cuz I needed to buy a shorter ringtone that was more expensive, even though it's a damn piece of the song. Never touching apple's devices again.
Golden Rule #1 of business owners "according to who?" (not dishing out Marques, rather clarifying business are business and they can do whatever they want. It's OUR decision to stop supporting them and vote with our wallet
@@uraverageviewer787issue is we didn't expect marques if all the people to do this😢, he is the only reviewer whom I trust but now I am double guessing
You forget that a lot of the people who watch the videos are creators who spend like 10x that amount for the software they normally use. And there's a free version so you don't have to pay if you don't want to
@@David_Disu There isn't a free version, that's basically the issue. You have to watch 1 min of ads and then you can get the wallpaper... which is SD quality. The SD makes it another app. The HD app is not free. I'm all for paying software I use a lot (I know, I'm weird I guess), I applaud him for sharing the 50/50 price cut with creators, but that kinda made it worse. He should've simply not mentioned that or... better... make it 80/20, and be very upfront in the app on what you're getting. Free, no ads, for SD papers, 50 a year for HD. Or add a trial, or family sharing, etc. it should've been way more consumer focused.
Not to mention the app tracks the following: Purchases Contact Info Identifiers Location Search History Usage Data GTFO! Long time viewer of mkbhd but this is wild.
You say your wallpaper app is “free”, but that comes with the caveat that you have to watch two 30 second ads per wallpaper only to end up getting a cropped 16:9 1080p jpeg (regardless of the originals image’s aspect ratio or resolution). Not a good look man.
Sites like Pexels have free, high quality photographs that can be downloaded without a sign up and cropped for any display. He's just completely off with this app.
So a MKBHD backed wallpaper app is $49.99 for an annual subscription after 65% off? That may be the most peak influencer cash grab of 2024. I am sure the artists will make some money from this app, but $50 after 65% off promotion is just out of touch. The full price of $144.99 for a wallpaper says it all. It is disappointing to see, quite honestly.
He is flat out lying about 'everbody keeps asking me where I get my wallpapers' I can't imagine anyone hitting up Marques to ask him where he got his bland assed generic wallpaper. lol.
Bro, do you have a room temperature IQ or what? Apple is literally marketing their product with a future promise. MKBHD isn't doing that-he never said, "This thing looks cool in our app but isn’t available, make sure you pay for it to access it in the future." He just said the app will improve, and updates are natural. People improve their applications to give consumers a better experience.
@@edmonddantes4966 well technically both is the same. Apple and other companies do the same. Buy the product now and you'll get some pretty cool improvements later. That's what he also said in the video. If app can be improved over time then so does a software. Mkbhd once ruined a car company just because their "pretty cool" software wasn't improved yet and they started selling the car. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@edmonddantes4966 he did advertise that you should buy it because it will have cool things later. That's the same thing. And this guy is doing 50/50 with the artists while Apple lost a lawsuit for taking 30% to developpers
Me and my bros once found a random 50 euro bill on the street and we gave it to a street musician, must've made his day. Imagine spending that money on a wallpaper app 💀
@@justaguywithapowerpole Dear god! How about you take $50 and go spend it on a teacher. Were you sneezing while typing this? How did auto correct allow you to get away with this sin of a sentence.
Who cares about the haters, which mean nothing really. Do the math, even if half a percent of his 19.5 million subscribers buy that app, that's $4,875,000.
$50 for a year!? $144 per year if you pay monthly. For wallpapers? This is borderline predatory. This is embarrassing and you need to change the pricing. The audacity.
I don't see anyone getting tricked into spending money without being really aware of it (as with some loot-box systems), so this is hardly "predatory". Just shamelessly overpriced.
@@edmund1737 no one is forcing anyone but the guy has millions of followers that statistically a small % of them would probably subscribe to such robbery. He'd be making bank with that kind of subscription for almost 0 effort service. He should've kept it free with ads or $5 a year without ads or something reasonable.
The only thing this video has shown me is that greed knows no bounds. This guy has 20M subscribers, is a relatively well-liked tech personality, and yet apparently sees no issue with promoting this crap.
Tried the app. 2ads for a SD resolution wallpaper. Keep in mind, this is the guy that says how 60hz display on a smartphone in 2024 is unacceptable. Thanks MKBSD 😂
The app doesn't work at 120 hz... My eyes are super used to my 120hz screen and his app doesn't work at that refresh rate, it's probably just not optimised well for it
@@ayushmansharma1899 I'm a bit sleep deprived but it seems it works at 120hz (15 pro). It's still one crap of a app tho, 119 MBs for initial download, probably done in a low-code / drag-n-drop app creator.

@@Okieant I'm sure he was expecting some backlash but not this much. I literally haven't seen a single comment about the iPhone and I've been scrolling through comments for a while now.
People have more disposable income than ever so it'll be profitable on a channel this size (if, say, 1/100k people pay). But its obnoxious and marketed terribly.
I just don’t understand this. Why are ppl upset about this? 50 dollars over the period of a YEAR. For tons of wallpapers. Why the fuck is everyone whining?

I can review the 16 Pro in a paragraph (context: I have a 15 Pro and tried a 16 Pro): Basically smaller bezels, slightly better screen, better camera (it's noticeable imo), the camera button is useless for settings; too small of a surface, only good as a shutter button.

I've been watching Marques for more than 10 years, this is one of the rarest occurrence where the review of product got overshadowed by something else 💀
@@matthewwilliams2184 not anymore. All of his reviews from now on you should watch with the perspective "how much money is MKBHD making from this?" Because he made it clear with this app that he is only about $$$$ now
I've never seen a comment section more focused on flaming MKBHD on that absurd pricing. There's barely any comments talking about the iPhones themselves.
@@avinashlp713 On the flip side, nothing terrible to say about it either. That's honestly how it should be. Nobody talks about the new models of fridges every year either. 😁
There is literally nothing to talk about on the phone itself if you don't care about taking photo at the moment, since the AI stuff is still not present yet.
I heard they're also working on a line of Cheese & Crackers aimed at fans who all registered on Social Media with false credentials. We keep hearing about 'Creators' getting in trouble for targeting minor's. However do the PLATFORMS do anything to make sure their registered users are actually over 16, or 18, or whatever the legal age is? I wonder how precipitously the active user stats Twitch/RUclips/Instagram/etc. would drop if they removed the accounts of everyone who registered with a false age? I figure it's almost like SMOKING. If these creators don't manage to HOOK viewers under 18, it's FAR less likely they'll ever become subscribers... I mean, how many ADULTS do you know who regularly watch MR. BEAST videos? Is there ANYONE OVER 18 who would even admit to being a Mr. Beast fan? Without the childish hope of 'winning prizes', does anyone really enjoy watching those Amateur 'Reality' Shows? I mean, I grew up with AMERICAN GLADIATORS, so everything Mr. Beast does just looks to have been designed for a bunch of WUSSES! lol
@MKBHD. Listen, in this day and age, if you buy a 600/700 or a thousand dollar phone, you will be more than happy with it. So how much do we need phone reviews now? But you know it I know it and everyone else knows it what the problem has become. And that is our phones getting damaged through software updates. We buy a phone today, for couple of years, no problem whatsoever. However maybe 2 to 3 years down the line, green line appears after software updates. There are numerous videos regarding these issue by fairly well known youtubers. MKBHD, its our heartiest request to you that you make a video on this, because these phone companies are straight up scamming us by damaging our phones through software updates and forcing us to buy phones every 2 to 3 years. That is the more important topic to talk about than talking about the new phone has better dynamic range. Hardly anyone cares about slightly better dynamic range, but people are suffering due to these green line and other issues that appear on phone through software updates after 2 to 3 years. PLEASE. You are MKBHD. You MUST talk about these and create awareness. Note: I am obviously not a bot like those bot comments. I am a real human who is asking you to talk about smartphone green line issue. I am just pasting this message as many times as possible in hope that it somehow goes into your radar and you read it once. Android phones like Samsung, One Plus, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo etc are the worst suffers of this green line issue which is basically created by software updates. Iphones also has this issue, maybe relatively less than others.
As a long time MBKHD fan… Wtf is this man?! First off, they’re wallpapers, everyone gets them for free... Second off, the prices are insane. Third, who wanted this? This genuinely feels like a shady cash grab and I’m pretty disappointed. Obviously my opinions alone don’t matter, but glad to see my peers feel the same way… crazy
its so bizarre. even 5 quid a year would be a hard sell, especially considering its 2024 and you can easily have ai generate you a wallpaper pretty much exactly how you want it
Your points could be valid even if ppl don't see or agree with them on another note I don't get how these out of touch RUclipsrs are doing things like this knowing the economy is bad and ppl is struggling to live out here
Come on dude, your fans made you rich in the first place and now you're trying to milk money off them for wallpapers?! Throw them in a google drive folder for free.
As someone who has been using the free version of the app: I really love it. I can just put my phone down and do something else until the ad is finished. Also the 1080 p wallpapers are more than enough for me, like I don’t think my phone has a higher res screen. And the wallpapers are amazing. Like genuinely stunning. And I feel like I’m also supporting the artist?! Absolutely love it
@@connorcmusician that's what I thought at first when I saw all the comment but then I realize you basically get all the wallpapers on tweeter also for free without watching 2 minute ads
Bummed to see the amount of folks blasting you on the app. I think the value most are missing is the fact you are also trying to create something that also gets artists paid for their craft. I can appreciate that perspective.
@@uraverageviewer787 He says in the video he gets 50% they get 50% if he wanted to pay artists should have done a more fair deal so could put the sub price lower.
@@uraverageviewer787 i strongly refuse all child allegations. i am in fact not a child. why are you so interested in children? back on topic, mkbhd is not paying the artists, the few users who are unfortunate enough to fall for this cashgrab are. meanwhile he and the greedy devs are taking 50% of what should be paid directly to the artists, or with a much smaller fee at least. have a nice day
iPhone 16 does suck. iPhones have been unaspiring for nearly a decade now. At the same time Sammy came out with curved screens, IPX8/IP68 ratings, tri-cams, 120Hz display and multi gen foldable phones. If you're still using Apple's iPhones then you are literally anti-tech.
You should be happy he is not using selfie camera to check if your eyes are really pointed to the screen while you are forced to listen to these 2 30 sec adverts... 😅
Honestly, this is an insane pricing model. I thought there would be some use in the free version, but you can only watch ads to download low res versions of the paid wallpapers. Hard pass. I have no problem paying for apps that provide me enough value for the dollar. But for real, y'all are coming in at 2.5x the price of Halide? For wallpapers? Hard. pass.
Wallpapers are one of those things I'll never spend a penny on. There's so many free ones to choose from that it makes no sense to pay for them. We have an endless supply all for free.
I’ve paid for wallpapers before because I thought they were dope and wanted to support the designer. That being said, they cost me €1.50 and I used them for a few years lol
Downloaded the app, used it - UI looks trash - 50 dollars - not even thousand wallpapers - two thirty seconds ad for sd download - Profit's 50% as platform fee
The Panels app is EXACTLY the sort of think Marques & co would rant about for 30 minutes on the Waveform podcast. I thought it was weird and out of character to start his biggest review of the year with a self-serving advertisement, then the actual content of the app goes beyond weird...
The fact the app is $50 per year, flooded with ads and tracks you location data is frankly mind blowing and has VERY much lowered my opinion on you Marques. I have always thought of you as an honest guy but this plus the push towards more and more sponsored content is really degrading your fair viewpoint on tech today.
In addition, the fact you are saying the app is $50 per year and you are suggesting that this will get MUCH BETTER with time in a video you are complaining about Apple doing the same seems CRAZY…
@@aledwilliams1234Madara is merely Kaguya's puppet for revival. They also hyped Kaguya since 2007 as Black Zetsu was watching Naruto and Sasuke fight at the Final Valley where Madara and Hashirama statue stands. Can't wait for Kaguya to take what's hers! Black Zetsu or Kaguya stomp Madara too. Also, Hashirama, Hagoromo, Isshiki, Jigen, Momoshiki, Delta, Naruto and Sasuke, Fused Boruto, Code, Juubito, Dual MS Prime Obito (100% chakra) etc Madara's cool in terms of powers but as an actual characters he's kinda lame imo. Dude shit talks during the fight like he's not an immortal zombie with stolen powers. Like dude Hashirama kicked your ass so bad you stole his flesh and went into hiding for decades.

16 is a failboat it appears. My Pro has spots on the back running 109f when using BT, and when using BT fairly often through a day, is down to 33% at mid-afternoon. My four year old 12 ProMax still lasts longer with essentially the same size battery. I can only imagine what the battery life would be with any AI functions used throughout the day.
@@AitchC Exactly. But many of these artists are already on his payroll, working on the videos and all. Therefore, the 50% for the team is more like the price these artists pay for the exposure this backlash will give them and their work. Everyone involved should have simply made a monthly collection of wallpapers (or several) in his store, and that's it, but it wouldn't have made this much money.
That's incredibly generous royalties dude. I worked on a game and was promised just 1% of the profits. You can't expect to get the majority of the profits if you're not the founder.
it literally says its free though??? but u can pay extra for (what I assume) access to more wallpapers/to just show support. but its not mandatory I believe
Checked out the free version of Panels. With a 30 second ad, I could download an HD quality wallpaper. I was worried after all the hoopla surrounding the app after its launch but I finally decided to check it out for myself and I was not disappointed. Waiting to see what the MKBHD team has in store for the future. I put this comment under the Pixel Fold review but decided to write it here as well as the app was first launched in this video.

THEN DON'T BUY IT. HOLYYYYYYYYYYY
Dude there's a FREE TIER
Marques is so out of the loop with money and it's been getting more obvious with his phone reviews
@@Billy69 elaborate please.
50%?! On a wallpaper app that costs more than a netflix subscription? 50% is so much worse than google, spotify, literally any company paying artists you could think of.
lmao what is this 2002? You wanna sell us some ringtones too?
He needs double down at this point and include ringtones, wait a day or two and then say it was all a joke and delete the app and maybe, just maybe will the internet forget that this occurred.
I was traumatized by Apple's ringtones. Was like 12 and got Iphone 4S. Couldn't download a song to use as alarm - bought the song, but couldn't use it cuz I needed to buy a shorter ringtone that was more expensive, even though it's a damn piece of the song. Never touching apple's devices again.
Omg those were the days. Took a good $5 from me before to realize it’s utterly worthless.

@@uraverageviewer787issue is we didn't expect marques if all the people to do this😢, he is the only reviewer whom I trust but now I am double guessing
You forget that a lot of the people who watch the videos are creators who spend like 10x that amount for the software they normally use. And there's a free version so you don't have to pay if you don't want to
@@uraverageviewer787 ok so he cant criticize it? Marques is not going to give you a tesla buddy you can stop the glaze
@@David_Disu There isn't a free version, that's basically the issue. You have to watch 1 min of ads and then you can get the wallpaper... which is SD quality. The SD makes it another app. The HD app is not free. I'm all for paying software I use a lot (I know, I'm weird I guess), I applaud him for sharing the 50/50 price cut with creators, but that kinda made it worse. He should've simply not mentioned that or... better... make it 80/20, and be very upfront in the app on what you're getting. Free, no ads, for SD papers, 50 a year for HD. Or add a trial, or family sharing, etc. it should've been way more consumer focused.
I love the irony behind him saying dont buy a product based on a promise and him making us buy his app because he has “big plans”

You say your wallpaper app is “free”, but that comes with the caveat that you have to watch two 30 second ads per wallpaper only to end up getting a cropped 16:9 1080p jpeg (regardless of the originals image’s aspect ratio or resolution). Not a good look man.

Didn't even finish the video 😂😂 the comments got me on the floor
A subscription app for wallpaper?? Pinterest has thousands of free ones 😂
🤣
The internet as a whole has BILLIONS of free ones
And why wouldn’t you just use a photo you took?? Is this for people who don’t go outside?
And I can never understand why people would want the wallpaper he's having
Sites like Pexels have free, high quality photographs that can be downloaded without a sign up and cropped for any display. He's just completely off with this app.
So a MKBHD backed wallpaper app is $49.99 for an annual subscription after 65% off?
That may be the most peak influencer cash grab of 2024. I am sure the artists will make some money from this app, but $50 after 65% off promotion is just out of touch. The full price of $144.99 for a wallpaper says it all.

I was thinking about that
Bro, do you have a room temperature IQ or what? Apple is literally marketing their product with a future promise. MKBHD isn't doing that-he never said, "This thing looks cool in our app but isn’t available, make sure you pay for it to access it in the future."

I heard they're also working on a line of Cheese & Crackers aimed at fans who all registered on Social Media with false credentials.
We keep hearing about 'Creators' getting in trouble for targeting minor's. However do the PLATFORMS do anything to make sure their registered users are actually over 16, or 18, or whatever the legal age is?
I wonder how precipitously the active user stats Twitch/RUclips/Instagram/etc. would drop if they removed the accounts of everyone who registered with a false age?
I figure it's almost like SMOKING. If these creators don't manage to HOOK viewers under 18, it's FAR less likely they'll ever become subscribers... I mean, how many ADULTS do you know who regularly watch MR. BEAST videos? Is there ANYONE OVER 18 who would even admit to being a Mr. Beast fan?
Without the childish hope of 'winning prizes', does anyone really enjoy watching those Amateur 'Reality' Shows?

@MKBHD. Listen, in this day and age, if you buy a 600/700 or a thousand dollar phone, you will be more than happy with it. So how much do we need phone reviews now? But you know it I know it and everyone else knows it what the problem has become. And that is our phones getting damaged through software updates. We buy a phone today, for couple of years, no problem whatsoever. However maybe 2 to 3 years down the line, green line appears after software updates. There are numerous videos regarding these issue by fairly well known youtubers. MKBHD, its our heartiest request to you that you make a video on this, because these phone companies are straight up scamming us by damaging our phones through software updates and forcing us to buy phones every 2 to 3 years. That is the more important topic to talk about than talking about the new phone has better dynamic range. Hardly anyone cares about slightly better dynamic range, but people are suffering due to these green line and other issues that appear on phone through software updates after 2 to 3 years. PLEASE. You are MKBHD. You MUST talk about these and create awareness.
Note: I am obviously not a bot like those bot comments. I am a real human who is asking you to talk about smartphone green line issue. I am just pasting this message as many times as possible in hope that it somehow goes into your radar and you read it once. Android phones like Samsung, One Plus, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo etc are the worst suffers of this green line issue which is basically created by software updates. Iphones also has this issue, maybe relatively less than others.

@@FlareDope I think your right. Maybe he is cloned by AI and his youtube channel hacked with ss7. Great video about ss7.
@@hannesskirgard he is definitely AI
Biggest review of the year? Of a phone that's the same as it's predecessor for the past 5 years? Don't make me laugh
Biggest review? iPhone 16 is selling poorly, it's a skip for most.
The fact the app is $50 per year, flooded with ads and tracks you location data is frankly mind blowing and has VERY much lowered my opinion on you Marques. I have always thought of you as an honest guy but this plus the push towards more and more sponsored content is really degrading your fair viewpoint on tech today.
In addition, the fact you are saying the app is $50 per year and you are suggesting that this will get MUCH BETTER with time in a video you are complaining about Apple doing the same seems CRAZY…
$144 😂
@@aledwilliams1234 dont forget that the platform fee is 50%!!! thats more than apple gets from their appstore
@@aledwilliams1234Madara is merely Kaguya's puppet for revival. They also hyped Kaguya since 2007 as Black Zetsu was watching Naruto and Sasuke fight at the Final Valley where Madara and Hashirama statue stands. Can't wait for Kaguya to take what's hers!
Black Zetsu or Kaguya stomp Madara too. Also, Hashirama, Hagoromo, Isshiki, Jigen, Momoshiki, Delta, Naruto and Sasuke, Fused Boruto, Code, Juubito, Dual MS Prime Obito (100% chakra) etc
Madara's cool in terms of powers but as an actual characters he's kinda lame imo.
Dude shit talks during the fight like he's not an immortal zombie with stolen powers. Like dude Hashirama kicked your ass so bad you stole his flesh and went into hiding for decades.
Also the whole "Wake up to reality" thing is super ironic considering his entire plan relies on doing the exact same shit he's complaining about. At least Pain called a spade a spade
So greedy... he should be very ashamed. He is clearly very out of touch with his audience. I unsubscribed
16 is a failboat it appears. My Pro has spots on the back running 109f when using BT, and when using BT fairly often through a day, is down to 33% at mid-afternoon. My four year old 12 ProMax still lasts longer with essentially the same size battery. I can only imagine what the battery life would be with any AI functions used throughout the day.
$50 a year for a Wallpaper app! 🤣😂
You know something is bad when channel members are complaining about
yep. like he needs more money, dude ended being just another greedy mofo. disappointing
Was it never obvious? The say he tried to justify s23's artificial zoom ,my suspiciouns were confirmed @ox.9065
$50 a year for a Wallpaper app! 🤣😂
That's like 5 dollars a month lmao
Charging 50$ for a wallpaper app and splitting profits 50/50 with artists is criminal.
@@AitchC Exactly. But many of these artists are already on his payroll, working on the videos and all. Therefore, the 50% for the team is more like the price these artists pay for the exposure this backlash will give them and their work. Everyone involved should have simply made a monthly collection of wallpapers (or several) in his store, and that's it, but it wouldn't have made this much money.
That's incredibly generous royalties dude. I worked on a game and was promised just 1% of the profits.
You can't expect to get the majority of the profits if you're not the founder.
@@pokefreak2112 you should have been paid on commission and he's literally just selling other people's artwork with zero effort 💀
Bro 50% is huge
It's literally not
50 USD per year, for wallpaper. Did I hear that right? Ridiculous.
Absolutely insane. I can't believe I'm in 2024 self-cancelling MKBHD... He has lost it completely...
yeah lmao same
You guys complain like you're being forced to buy something. Imagine being this weak minded lmao.
LMAO Marques legit smoking crack
it literally says its free though??? but u can pay extra for (what I assume) access to more wallpapers/to just show support. but its not mandatory I believe
Checked out the free version of Panels. With a 30 second ad, I could download an HD quality wallpaper. I was worried after all the hoopla surrounding the app after its launch but I finally decided to check it out for myself and I was not disappointed. Waiting to see what the MKBHD team has in store for the future.
I put this comment under the Pixel Fold review but decided to write it here as well as the app was first launched in this video.
