Samsung's latest ad wants Apple users to jump over the fence and get a foldable phone

04 November 2022
Foldable phones are coming to Apple's walled garden - you just have to wait. Samsung asks why wait when you can have one now.

bluedragon1eye, 04 Nov 2022The most disadvantage of foldable/flip/clamshell devices is... moreI'm not sure where you live, but Samsung covers the cost of the inner screen. Obviously some people had to pay, but it's false to imply everyone has to pay if their screen breaks.

    [deleted post]damn bro that's crazy 😂

      The most disadvantage of foldable/flip/clamshell devices is you couldn't have proper protective cases and screen protectors for them, if you end up damaging the inner screen you gotta pay the amount almost 2/3 price of the device to get it fixed or whether you choose to get a new one and toss the damaged one in your closet... even you ultimately choose to get the damaged one fixed and re-sell it, you obviously lost big money for nothing just in a short time of use.
      I'm a smartphone-technician and I also do selling smartphone accessories for living almost 10 years. In my truth-depth-honest opinion, curved screen & foldable/flip/clamshell screen devices are f***ing pathetic!
      Trust me! I met many people and observed how frustrated the got about their devices screens were too fragile to break and they couldn't get a proper screen protector for it :))
      Customers who came to ask for opinion about which devices, which brands they should purchase, I always honestly answered "It doesn't matter which one, Apple or Android, as long as it has flat screen, you are good"

        Currently using a Fold 3 and iPhone 14 Pro Max as a daily. The battery life on the fold 3 is a huge problem for my usage.

          Anonymous, 04 Nov 2022Just like the first iPhone was no match to Windows Mobile 6... moreActually first iPhone was SO bad in every aspect, that only 'best' part was hype. And maybe UI fluidity, because you couldn't do anything serious with this OS.

            ‘So the Apple fan may have to wait even longer for a foldable iPhone.’

            Well this Apple fan is happy to wait, as long as it takes to iron out all the compromises currently inherent in foldable display technology. You know Samsung, like a giant crease right down the middle of said display which has all the durability of a wet cornflake!

              Oh God this so funny 🤣🤣🤣 dude says "we wait" and that got me!

                    Apple has zero innovation. And they try to show complicated things as simple while in reality it isn't as simple. Did you see settings in iOS? Why apps settings are there? Just horrible.

                              "directed towards apple"

                              It's towards every company, basically only Samsung sells folding phones globally, you might find a Huawei or two but that's it.

                                  This is so pathetic.

                                    FOldables really,does it mprove battery life NO,does paform better NO,is it I've got one you Haven't YES, bloody FOldables,what a joke, sorry fellas, keep mobiles simple ☎️

                                      If the Iphone were on Android, it would be obvious that the vast majority of its users would all have migrated to Samsung smartphones, but if today they are still on the Iphone then it is for IOS and its entire ecosystem. It looks like Samsung can't figure it out or it's doing it on purpose, and it's getting really cheesy.

                                        Anonymous, 04 Nov 2022Well if you're so confident of apple being successful ... more” why hasn't apple done that already and what's taking them so long”

                                        You really think Apple could release product like Samsung fold or flip? Internet and users would tear them apart and just like that Apple brand name would be hit hard.

                                        The tech to make mass appealing foldable just isn’t there yet, if ever? I mean just look Samsung foldable sales, they are in their fourth year, there’s just very small interest towards foldables because people don’t want to pay huge price to be beta users and will there be enough interest overall for foldables to make it worth? Currently it looks like there isn’t. Samsung is basicly only player and they can’t sell more than they do.
