I am sure it will have crease in the middle and it will not have a separate number row on the on screen keyboard...
Fix these two things and I will buy an iPhone, an iPad and 2 kilos of apple...

Rumour has it that the foldables will cost $3499 (flip) and $4999 (fold) in the US, base+100 Euros in EU, base+150 pounds in UK, base+200 USD in the rest of the world and base+1000 USD in India.
Legit rumour from my long-time friend Maximus Gluteus.

So you would have already justified the cost of buying it. And then when you sell, you get good resale too, which is a bonus.

Even funnier, getting a branded case like spigen or ringke is cheaper for iphone in my country than samsung, because so many people own a iphone.
And I don't even start about no brand accessories.
Same with other stuff, no price difference or even cheaper for apple.
Fixing parts you do at apple, same with samsung (send to samsung), Xiaomi (send to xiaomi) and so on, nobody goes in my countey to a small phone store on a street corner to fix a phone nowdays, their prices are since the sinds 2020 same or higher than official repairs, not to mention official repairs don't void the warranty here.
There is also no inlfated cost of power supplies, that is nonesense because samsung, google, anker and so on work 100% fine on iphones too.
Most people I know dont even own apple one because anker or samsung ones are cheaper (original ones).
Same with any other accessoires.
The only difference, truly the only difference that makes owning an iphone is if you buy it straight out of your pocket like I do with my android phones.
Because especially google and samsung gives some hefty deals here when you do so, but these deals are non existent or much worse with a carrier plan.
Problem is most people get a phone with carrier plan nowdays because phones I so stupidly expensive nowdays, in the days when a high end android/apple phone was under 500 euro, most people went sim only, but companies got greedy so...
And on a carrier plan iphone is the better value because of same cost vs high end android and higher resale value than android.
And I know this is country specific but over here that is how it is, and this all started when some good priced brands went away (LG, HTC and so on) and when chinese brands concluded they want more money and be less bang for your bucks.
Because in the past it wasn't like that here, Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi and so on were cheaper than apple, gave more value too.
But they themself decided they want more, only one left is like I said Motorola, but they have their own issues high end wise.

While iPhone’s do have a higher resale value, they also cost more to own overall. You’re going to pay more for just about everything with an iPhone, from cases to battery replacement, cost of broken screens and other repairs, screen protectors, not to mention the inflated cost of power supplies, cables etc. While you can find comparable parts and accessories if you look hard enough, most iPhone users simply do not as they trust Apple almost implicitly and will buy “Made for iPhone” without doing any research what so ever, and so they typically end up paying more overall, but think they’re getting value all because of one metric, resale value.

Apple and gsmarena is making us happy and healthy for years by giving us very importance rumors. After all the years of free remors Apple should start charging us for their precious fold rumors. I will definitely not pay for it.
But I can guarantee that millons of apple users around the world will happily pay for apple fold-rumors. After all zombies only walk to their food, they have no brain.

williamsproat, 16 Dec 2024How do you know I don't have appleBecause I am the only one in my family using Android, most of them switched to iPhones in the past 6 years because it is more *value.
Also I read reviews on many sites and same results there.
(*iPhones and samsung cost same money here, same with brands like xiaomi or oppo, only motorola is cheaper. The whole "value" part is in the resale value, it's much higher for iphones here (fold 5 used is as much iphone 15 plus sells for here) and thus when they sell it after their phone contract is over every 2 years, they sell the old phone, ad money to new one to have lower monthly cost and repeat that. I am using android and I get my phones straight out, so no carrier deals and I agree that my phone has less resale value, however I don't buy android for the value, but usability)
