    It’s a first generation product. Remember the first Galaxy Fold and what a disaster that was? It’s kinda like that (only more expensive).

    Apple should have the benefit of hindsight but apparently not.

      This is hilarious to me because all I hear from Apple fanbois about why iPhones are always years behind Samsung et al on new features is because “Apple don’t release things until they work properly”

      In a way, yes. But in another way, no.

      It is a first gen device, but the screen came from samsung and has been developed for a long time. Galaxy folds don’t break like this one does.

      Apple made some bad choices in the design instead of building upon samsungs tried and tested design.

      Apple ia not brraking into a new segment with new tech like Samsung did. Foldable phones have been around long enough for them to sell a working phone.
