    We’re at a point now where you don’t need to upgrade every 6 months or a year. Phones work perfectly fine for 2 to even 5 years now with updates.

    Micro updates such as slightly faster processing power or a slightly better camera is not appealing at all.

    Foldables is where the next smartphone market is but the technology is way too young and they’re mechanically fragile resulting in problems within only months of purchase.

      Foldable are not fragile in my experience. I’ve had my Fold for over a year now and I’ve dropped it many times without issue.
