Same story all the time, if Apple puts this on their foldable, I will get it. But still no one at (i)PhoneArena has said anything about how the software is going to work. Which apps are going to run on it? Will it be able to run iPad apps? How will multitasking with multiple windows work? These are more important than a pen, especially since the software still has to be fixed on Apples end. Plus developers will have to rewrite their apps in order to switch between one screen size and another, and be able to switch screen sizes on the fly. I personally think the first iPhone foldable will be a dud!

I am not disagreeing with you, morehousemula, but I think you need to pull back also and look at the bigger picture as well. If I would switch from android to apple, I would have to replace pretty much my entire smarthome, cameras, switches, plugs, doorlocks. NOT a minor undertaking. Plus, my family is all android, so all of what they use in the smarthome would stop functioning.

Not happening

I understand where your coming from but there are many dangers in depending on one platform as well. I am supporting having a secure computing network not as a competition per say but to see where each one outshine the other. For example I was an Apple fan from the get go never believed in having an Android phone as well but didn't go the whole length of a smarthome though in Germany my house was pretty much smart it just didn't depend on a single system it depended on facial recognition and personal settings.

Having an Android doesn't mean you lose all those great technological products and settings it just means you are able to carry along the masses as well as acknowledging and using other platforms helps those who use them as well. Think of it as passing on the torch you don't have to route your whole network through it you just have to see the good and the bad sides of both.

I've had intrusions on one of them with sensitive information posted online but with the other aside from weird double input with added security functions no issues like before. Live as a slave and then be your own master.

Well they gonna sell it separately anyway, like the other one if they even make one.

They have to because it is an added feature. That's why they have their tablet line just get a tablet if you wanna take some notes but on a fold it's really for the screen ratio and a much smaller looking desktop for the neo smart users who want to save space. They'll see an influx of sign ups for storage space from college students looking to drop the additional weight for sure.

This product and it's likes i.e Samsung will force the computer industry to reinvent themselves and present a lighter less expensive alternative therefore saving the environment. The build your own computer industry will come alive again because they would be antiques.

I can picture Aman and iShill Tuga waiting outside the Apple Store like puppies waiting for a treat. 🙄 Kinda hard to pick something that isn't even out yet.

Nah i have never done that; I always pre-order. I’ve pre-ordered every Samsung, Asus, and iPhone I’ve ever owned and have never waited in line at a store. It sounds like you’re the one who has wasted time standing in line only to end up with a lemon lie the pixel 11 series

I had galaxy notes for years and only used the pen a handful of times. Mostly for drawing games on the phone. Anytime I want to draw something professionally I use a computer or a regular piece of paper.
