I like the idea of fold tech but I just wish it unfolded to a proper aspect ratio.

Imagine an iPhone that unfolds into an iPad.

Edit: just looked it up, it’s 4:3, which is not bad but imo it’s also not good

    It is literally the aspect ratio of every iPad, though 😅

    Something like 16:10 or 16:9 would make it very square when folded. IMO the most satisfying aspect ratio would be √2:1, like A4 paper, so that the aspect ratio when closed and open is the same.

    I think the durability is the limiting factor in regards to foldable tech as it stands right now

    Also, they are worse phones. The flip style makes more sense as a foldable. I don't think there will ever be much market for them.

    Something I keep hearing from others and think that myself - once you go foldable, you don't want to go back. I don't think I'll ever buy a non-foldable again.
