Remember when Apple sued Samsung because their phones had round corners? I think Samsung needs to sue Apple if they release a folding phone because it's too much like their phones.
I still fail to see any sort of benefit of the z-flip form factor. You pay flagship price for sub-flagship specs and worse battery life, only to get a phone that will be junk in a year or two, with no upsides what so ever.
Having it folded may be thicker but it's much smaller an nicer to carry in your pockets, especially if ypu have jacket or shirt pockets, the cover screen is mkre useful than I thought it woukd be and it's nice to use it while walking as it's easy and really comfortable to hold, the battery life last me more than my s22 and the efficiency is pretty good, not great but it get me through the day with fairly heavy use, and the snapdragon gen 2 is really good not sub par at all and the ram is good enough, the cameras are also good for most people, the screen is worrying for sure and hopefully with a screen protector and case it'll last, but it has greatly improved and by the 7 proabably won't be an issue
Exactly. I use the same iPhone for several years and when I go to get a new one my current one having a case & screen protector since day one is able to be traded in for a decent value and used toward it. With one of these folding phones the screen is definitely getting scratched and the hinge is definitely going to get worn and that coupled with them not being mainstream I don’t see it holding value. I’d probably need to purchase a new folding phone at full retail price every couple years and that’s not something I’d ever do.
Samsung has proven there to be a market for that novelty factor such as Apple. I don’t need a foldable phone or headset but that temptation is lingering. While this is potentially distracting us from the next big piece of technology we all will learn to live with. Apple Vision Pro contact lenses meets non-evasive neuralink = sold 🤷♂️
@@kevinkev1530 no I’ve never had a folding phone, but I know the screens scratch really easily and I’m not sure if the hinges are designed to last at least a few years. I feel like a lot of the people that are buying them upgrade as soon as something new comes out so it’s irrelevant to them.
I want them to build me a phone that starts at half size, rolls out to full size, rolls out more to tablet size, and then rolls out further to a laptop, and rolls out even more to a desktop. The true all-in-one experience.
I agree that a foldable Apple anything is 2-3 years off. My question is how much further along will Samsung and other companies that have foldables be by the time Apple releases their first generation foldable phone (which I full expect to be at least $2500 starting price).
They'll be leaps and bounds ahead, but that's never stopped apple from spouting about old technology as new, and apple people eat it up and happily pay the price

Wrong, Austin.. Samsung's ultra thin glass is sandwitched between the plastic outer layer and the screen. So what you feel is the plastic layer and not the glass...
Austin is actually the reason I finally made the switch to Samsung / Android. For the first time in my life I don't have a single apple device. It's been a week so far and I love my Z Flip. The fact that it's a square when closed is soooo satisfying to me lol.
The OnePlus Open is literally what you just described. Form, size and weight of an iPhone 14 Pro but opens to iPad mini size and has amazing Hasselblad cameras
Apple is locked tight - I do not think they make the best of whatever category they are in HOWEVER they make the most usable (simplest) for consumers = it just works. Samsung makes a good product but they also make some explodable phones they have quality issues. For the record I have an iphone 11 now - just not needing the upgrades or new features.
It's weird that people might be surprised by this. Apple is definitely going to work on a foldable. The bigger question is how will they implement it in the most expensive way possible?
Apple STILL used USB 2.0 and The Lightning Port in 2023. Even today, they use USB 2.0 on non-Pro models. I love how Apple fans justify that by saying "Apple only releases things when they are up to Apple's incredibly high standard".
I think we have the tech to make a thinner flip phone currently. They could make the chassis out of carbon fiber instead of aluminum and that would reduce it quite a lot. The problem is they have to hit a certain price point goal and they won't hit it currently with what it costs to make carbon fiber. It's the cost of the technology more than the actual availability imo...
I don’t care about thickness, I would buy a foldable iPhone even if was as thick as the Z flip. The problem I have with folding phones is the screen durability. After using it for 2 years I give my phones to my kids, the screen needs to be very durable
IDK man I appreciate people not wanting a chonker of a phone, but I feel like Apple put "thin as possible" and "monitor specs" on a board and have just absolutely left other aspects of user experience behind. Maybe I'm biased cause I'm still mostly using their laptops? I feel like aside from screen and whatever their latest chip of the moment is, their build quality has gone downhill. Them still being the best is a myth we're still clinging to.
The technology required to make folding phones more durable is something I've always thought about and thats having the main display parts be full regular glass and have the folding "glass" be at the folding part. Finding a way to bond these separate materials is what'll ultimately change the game
Folding phones are tougher than you think. The OnePlus Open is probably the most durable phone on the planet especially with the rigorous testing it does. It's rated for 1 million folds.
@@NightFoxZero why would anyone feel the need to press a fingernail into a folding screen? Who's that abusive to electronics? However the same folding screen can handle a stylus.

@@NightFoxZero as long as I can game (PUBG, CODM) just as well on it as I do my 12" tablet, I no longer have to carry a phone and a tablet with me. Multitasking and power usage is fantastic. No need to edit video on a computer when I can do it from anywhere.
I always wondered why people are obsessed with battery size. How come we aren't looking into efficiency instead? What if you can have a 2500 mAH battery but 2x the efficiency?
Except they already wringed that out of their batteries. iOS can get away with smaller mAh batteries because their software is optimized so well for their own devices. Android's optimizations are stretched wide and thin thanks to needing to support and optimize for thousands of devices.
I got my Moto Razr on a promotion at Metro for only $100. Have been loving it. Durability of the screen is still my biggest concern but for $100 to $300 which is the other price point it's typically on sale for, it's super easy to take a chance on. The ONLY thing I've disliked about this phone in the months I've had it is the camera is pretty slow to take a picture because it does a lot of software processing. The pictures come out incredible looking but you really gotta hold it still for like 3 seconds to get the actual shot
Matt is on my team…. Please, Austin, what’s the thing with flips?! We may never see a ‘durable as glass’ screen for a folding phone!! Ask yourself one question, which is already answered: they have been show hundreds de prototype foldings, in almost every size, even before you all started on YT!! And I’m turning 60!
"Durable as glass"?!? Since when is glass actually durable when you see broken slab phone screens everywhere?!? Drop an iPhone and it shatters like an egg
Flip is just cheaper, thats why it’s so much more popular!!! It compromises features and is more expensive!! It makes no sense, how would u keep it in your back pocket even???? 😂
iPhones are boring, and they are for the 80% of iphone users that do not want any radical changes. The iPhone user base is basically locked in and Apple won't be rocking the boat. Their design is mostly static, there OS is doesn't change much, but the Apps may change a little. The folding phones are exciting, they are still new and offer interesting things with every update. Just coz iPhone users love iPhone, doesn't mean they should be stuck with not so exciting, but Apple knows what side their bread is buttered.
to make the glass strong enough to be able to withstand scratches and still be able to fold we are gonna need to lace clear kevlar into the glass with a gorilla glass victus overlay
Personally, I’d rather see smartphones return to having physical keyboards (slide-out/fold-out or candy bar) like the Motorola Droid, Palm Centro, Blackberry, or heck even the old Sidekick, and a headphone jack.
@@totoditv For a product that does the same thing but without the app ecosystem, and has very few current uses, the Vision Pro is only better as hardware and any company charging that much could make it work 90% the same as the Vision Pro. Meta knows it's market does NOT want a $3500 headset, but they have the resources to build an identical headset.
I have the zflip 5 and it really doesn't feel chunky in the pocket at all. In fact the shorter profile folded makes it the least noticeable in-pocket phone ive had since my blackberry curve over a decade ago.
Only if you're wearing really tight or form fitting pants will the "thickness" of the Z flip actually matter. I had a Z flip 3 for like 3 years and it never mattered to me I only switched back to the S24+ because the foldable screen crapped out on me and after that it was just a brick that only worked for the flash light feature
I use an Otterbox defender on all my phones so I don't really care about how big it is in my pocket. I am more worried about my phones surviving, rather than if it folds or does something fancy like that. I use a pixel 8 pro.
There’s a reason it’s been 5+ YEARS of folding phone companies and NON folding phone companies TRYING to do a TREND. Apple doesn’t just do a trend. They make the trends. I’d rather see DISPLAY GLASS on the BACK GLASS of iPhone, than having a phone that goes *Click*
My wild guess is that Apple's version: The lid will be thinner than the base. It can be positioned in an angle so that the phone in this form factor will be more comfortable to use for voice. In this configuration, the dialer will stay appearing on the lower half. When the lid is fully opened, the display will show the regular iPhone screen.
Is that a new this is episode? I'd love to watch it if my cornea's weren't fried from mY vision pro. 😵 Thank goodness my speech to text works flawlessly. Hashtag go apple.
Personally I don't see the point of the hamburger... hot dog all the way for me. I'd be quite interested in an iPad I can fold into an iPhone size, even if it's a little thicker
Why don't we just use 2 seperate 4:3 screens that snap together like that 120K tv from CES. no hinge issues, easy and cheap replace for either screen. ???? am i on to something?
If Apple is going the flip/fold route, I think it would make more sense to make their first gen based off the SE/8 design since they'll most likely cut down specs for increased margins anyways. Still, I think the iPad fold thing be more interesting but of course they won't go there.
I'm just not that interested in the current Flip style. I did have a Fold 3 and Fold 4 for a couple years. But I went back to the S24 Ultra when it came out
Only thing that's currently holding Apple back with their iPhones that can't currently compete against Android is #1 iPhones out of the box aren't able to sideload apps outside of the app store and #2 iPhones have less customization compared to Android. If Apple allowed to fully be able to sideload any apps available online like installing APK apps and allowed full customization like Android then Apple will have the ultimate best device hands down. These are the only 2 things holding iPhones back compared to owning a android device. I choose android because I need to be able to install APK apps outside of the Google Play store.
I switched over from iPhone to using the new Motorola Razr plus folding phone 📱❤️ 👍🏻 and I've been loving it ever since! Apple needs to get on the folding phone bandwagon! 🍎
I really would be excited to have an iPhone that folded out to the size of an iPad, mini or bigger. But I really don’t want a regular size phone that folds in half to be shorter but twice as thick. Just give me the tall thin phone.
My question is, what and when will Google and Microsoft will release their versions of VR headsets? Both of these companies have technology, available 😊
I want a phone that reliably makes calls and gets messages, with software that just works all the time. Oh a web browser too... Anything else is just a cherry on top. Still, ease to navigate and good software is a must. Like if I get a call, I want to be able to answer it within 2 seconds of touching my phone.
Thin for what? We are acting like the Zfold is really thick 😮 it fold and its pocketable! Personally there are 2 things if they got rid of I wouldn't even care, foldable screens on phones and curved screens on phones. I'd be happy to never see another curved screen on a Samsung phone again!
Apple has a good build quality, but I doubt that they'll have a foldable phone for a while. While I love the Z Fold Series.......Apple isn't making one like that.
I can’t see a foldable iPhone anytime soon. You know the foldable aren’t selling well when they go from $1500 launch to $700. Then the repair cost if it break is outrageous. Also if its a foldable iPhone, the iPhone doesn’t have multitask support and doesn’t support landscape mode anymore cause of face id. They would need a special IOS version. Then knowing apple the phone would cost $2500. No thanks. There software on ios and ipad os is so far behind I cant see them doing anything truly innovative. Until 2030 at this point, or 20 years of iPhone.
I have a One Plus Open (Foldable phone, not a flipping phone) and I don't understand the appeal of a Flipping phone AT ALL. It is not any more portable than a full sized phone. How tiny are your pockets where that tiny flip makes a difference? It's absolutely not work the compromises of a crease and the reduction in durability. I have a folding phone because it's a tablet in my pocket when I need it, it is it's own kickstand, multiple camera modes, selfies with the back camera, actual competent multitasking...Like why do you like flipping phones? I left Apple because folding phones offer an actual new and better experience that Apple isn't. A flipping iPhone is not a better product than the regular iPhone. A folding iPhone however...That I may be willing to switch back for one day.
Wooooowww! Apple have invented the folding phone.. Genius Now apple fans, just pretend that nobody else has ever done that before and Apple are such innovators

Why don't we just use 2 seperate 4:3 screens that snap together like that 120K tv from CES. no hinge issues, easy and cheap replace for either screen. ???? am i on to something?
Imagine a folding cloud gaming device Matt
If Apple is going the flip/fold route, I think it would make more sense to make their first gen based off the SE/8 design since they'll most likely cut down specs for increased margins anyways. Still, I think the iPad fold thing be more interesting but of course they won't go there.
Apple invented the concept of foldable phones with the bendgate it was the start of s revolution 😂😂😂
😅😂😅😂
I'm just not that interested in the current Flip style. I did have a Fold 3 and Fold 4 for a couple years. But I went back to the S24 Ultra when it came out
Only thing that's currently holding Apple back with their iPhones that can't currently compete against Android is #1 iPhones out of the box aren't able to sideload apps outside of the app store and #2 iPhones have less customization compared to Android.
If Apple allowed to fully be able to sideload any apps available online like installing APK apps and allowed full customization like Android then Apple will have the ultimate best device hands down. These are the only 2 things holding iPhones back compared to owning a android device. I choose android because I need to be able to install APK apps outside of the Google Play store.
Keep it we don’t want it
I switched over from iPhone to using the new Motorola Razr plus folding phone 📱❤️ 👍🏻 and I've been loving it ever since! Apple needs to get on the folding phone bandwagon! 🍎
I really would be excited to have an iPhone that folded out to the size of an iPad, mini or bigger. But I really don’t want a regular size phone that folds in half to be shorter but twice as thick. Just give me the tall thin phone.
My question is, what and when will Google and Microsoft will release their versions of VR headsets? Both of these companies have technology, available 😊
Remember the LG G Flex we’ve come along way
both foldable phones and cloud gaming are like an ouya
I want a phone that reliably makes calls and gets messages, with software that just works all the time. Oh a web browser too... Anything else is just a cherry on top.
Still, ease to navigate and good software is a must. Like if I get a call, I want to be able to answer it within 2 seconds of touching my phone.
I would absolutely live a iPhone flip. I’ve used both the Z flip and the razr. Love both. But I want one with iOS.
Just can't get on board with folders, until it last as long at my Oneplus 7 pro I still use 😅
You would actually absolutely LOVE the OnePlus Open! No bigger nor heavier than an iPhone 14 Pro but unfolds into a near 8" tablet
Apple's gonna release an iphone flip that is gonna be priced over 2 grand.
Thin for what? We are acting like the Zfold is really thick 😮 it fold and its pocketable! Personally there are 2 things if they got rid of I wouldn't even care, foldable screens on phones and curved screens on phones. I'd be happy to never see another curved screen on a Samsung phone again!
Apple the first one to make a folding phone! LMAO
IPhones just use old technology and haven't been innovators and more than 10 years any cell phone category😂
The year is 2045. I still don't see any advantages on the "Flip Form factor". With Fold you have more screen. With flip you just pay more for less.
Flip is just compact. Retro to the days of the desire to have the smallest phone possible after the huge ones of the 90's
Foldable iphone? Nope! Please apple… you are making a mistake..
why not a phone with a hand crank?
The new Razr is built so much better than the Z Flip
Apple has a good build quality, but I doubt that they'll have a foldable phone for a while. While I love the Z Fold Series.......Apple isn't making one like that.
Foldable phones are not even a fully baked product!
Apple makes the best version of whatever they get in to? Clearly they forgot the Pippin
Apple will never release a foldable iPhone.
I don't see the point of a folding phone to unfolding a phone to have it being the same size as a normal phone it should unfold to a bigger screen
I can’t see a foldable iPhone anytime soon. You know the foldable aren’t selling well when they go from $1500 launch to $700. Then the repair cost if it break is outrageous.
Also if its a foldable iPhone, the iPhone doesn’t have multitask support and doesn’t support landscape mode anymore cause of face id.
They would need a special IOS version.
Then knowing apple the phone would cost $2500.
No thanks. There software on ios and ipad os is so far behind I cant see them doing anything truly innovative. Until 2030 at this point, or 20 years of iPhone.
took them long enough, they made a preview of it way back in iphone 6 rofl
I have a One Plus Open (Foldable phone, not a flipping phone) and I don't understand the appeal of a Flipping phone AT ALL. It is not any more portable than a full sized phone. How tiny are your pockets where that tiny flip makes a difference? It's absolutely not work the compromises of a crease and the reduction in durability. I have a folding phone because it's a tablet in my pocket when I need it, it is it's own kickstand, multiple camera modes, selfies with the back camera, actual competent multitasking...Like why do you like flipping phones? I left Apple because folding phones offer an actual new and better experience that Apple isn't. A flipping iPhone is not a better product than the regular iPhone. A folding iPhone however...That I may be willing to switch back for one day.
Smart phones that fold in half are sooo 2021... and Apple can't be a follower but a trendsetter, so they should develop a TRI - foldable iPhone!!
Apple hasn't made new tech in 13 years
I don’t understand why the fuck anyone would want a flip phone that doesn’t fold out into an iPad seariously it’s the better option
Wooooowww! Apple have invented the folding phone.. Genius
Now apple fans, just pretend that nobody else has ever done that before and Apple are such innovators
Yes Please - iPhone Pro max that flips open into an iPad mini!
8:42 they’re gonna call it iPhold
Maybe I flip
After the vision pro I feel like Iphone is going to take something out and then charge double for what it is.
