OnePlus left western civilization :(

As a Motorola user i am very amused, thank you :3
I just got the Motorola G Stylus 2026 and like it a lot.
Still has a headphone jack <3
And the stylus is active now, with pressure sensitivity!
Finally a newer phone than my old galaxy note 9 from 2018 that doesn't feel like a downgrade. More like a ... Side-grade.
Anyway,
lol suck it apple
Isn't this what Apple has been doing for decades now? Wait until tech stabilizes and doing it right? It tried to really innovate with the AR/VR headset and it flopped.
Yeah but they stopped being consistent with the "doing it right" part a long time ago.
But wrapping everything in a proprietary fence (special connectors, blocked rms bridge, etc) is the very essence of the problem.
If I had $1 for every time I've personally seen a folding phone in the wild, I'd still have $0.
I've seen a few but it were never the type of people i expected. It weren't nerds or techies or dudes with expensive cars, it was middle-aged women with presumably fake designer bags. Still haven't figuresd out if these are the only people buying foldable phones or I am just not in an area that is representative of their typical buyers. At first I thought they were hand me downs from their husbands, but then I'd have seen at some point a man that might be said husband with one.
Everyone's forgetting the true OG: The humble Royole Flexpai

(It was a total piece of shit)
Apple is a slow development company. Their strategy has never been moving fast on new trends. It’s too volatile. That being said it is kind of embarrassing when they show up so late to the game with this.
Sure, but they still slap a new name onto an existing technology and pretend they invented that shit, hence the meme.
Given that foldables are 2% of the market, I’m not sure the fact that there are a half dozen (or more) out there already is the flex you think it is.
A$3,500 is crazy
And all of them start showing crease on the folding line after a few weeks or months.
Really? I thought it's visible from day 1.
I really do find it funny that I never see memes or comments making fun of any other company relating to phones.
Don’t get me wrong. I have had android phones, windows phones, and even PalmOS phones. I know Apple is always behind the times, their comment about copy and paste needing to be perfect before release drove me up a wall. If I remember correctly, it was a jailbreak developer that made copy and paste available on the iPhone a few years before officially being released.
However, I never see people make fun of other companies after they announce a new release. Yall must really hate Apple.
Other companies didn't spend a couple decades positioning themselves as a kind of tech-fashion elite. Other companies didn't charge $200 for a crossbody "pocket". So it's funniest when Apple's stupid ideas blow up in their ridiculous image-obsessed faces.
True, and nobody wants any of them
It's the price tag, and the fact unfolded they are using a giant squarish format.
Bring me back to the old 16:9 formats, instead. That made sense. You could watch movies, shows, and videos full-screen.
I see people using them with some regularity 🤷🏻♂️ not for me though.
For all the foldables that existed till now, only apples feels like a good ratio both open and close. Samsung fold doesn't count as they manufacure the iPhone displays and as usual released them as their own just before apple.
Who cares who got to market first?
I don't care a lick who was first, I'm a late adopter of all tech, but it is annoying when Apple users tout new features as if they're the first to experience them. It's the condescension that's annoying, especially when it's so misplaced
How often is that, really? Seems like more of a meme than anything else. I use their products, and prefer their UI. Is it perfect? Obviously not. But I do enjoy the vertical integration. Handoff just works™. iMessage works well, etc.
There are plenty of features that Android does better, and plenty that it does not. The haters are going to hate regardless.
This meme isn’t the burn that OP thinks it is.

But apple is quite good at showing up late and getting market share anyway.
Sure. It is known that Apple shows up late. Users keep buying their products, so they must be doing something right. 🤷🏻♀️
