Asked 2-3 friends of mine that are die hard Apple people, watch, phone, tablet etc.

None said they would get it. One even had the iPhone air and loves it. Main reason for them is the PRICE. Second reason was they weren't sure the screen would hold up with folding.

I think the over inflated price (not just apple) is holding folding phones back from being accepted more than they are.

Financial prudence dictates that one should refrain from committing to expenditures that exceed their current budgetary capacity.

Same. I'm surprised. I'm sure it will still sell out. But I've asked 2 of my friends that are getting new iPhones this year, and they both said they would rather get the new Pro in burgundy instead of the fold. I really thought they would be hype because they are apple fanboys.

You know what’s holding me back? How atrocious Siri has become!

They cost similar to Samsung phones. People who care what happens with their data, tend to avoid Android and those that don’t are fine with Android.
