    more screen isnt worth double the price. hell, there hasnt been a feature i would need to upgrade for in like 8 years… and that was just about shitty resource use (more storage) and battery life.

      Flip phones are more of a novelty to me, what I really want is to be able to dock my phone to a monitor and keyboard and have a complete desktop os without restrictions about installing applications.

      There is no reason other than greed that Apple does not offer this.

      They need to come down certainly. It shouldn’t cost more than a high end smart phone and a decent tablet.

      Would be willing to be something of a premium, but until it is in the range of a standard high end smart phone, it won’t be compelling.

        We’re kinda there already, the OnePlus Open can be had for ~1,300 which should be about right around a “high end smartphone + tablet”

        Plus, foldys have been on the market long enough now that you can snag a good deal on the used/refurb market if you’re patient

      I wish i could get another phone the exact same dimensions as my iPhone 4S tbh, which i consider to be the best smartphone ever made. If Samsung came out with an S series in that form factor, I’d probably go back to them.
