My parents are both on their third flip phones. Some people really like the form factor

It's funny. When/If Apple releases a foldable iPhone, suddenly most of these critics will think it's the greatest idea ever.

Just like Apple released touchscreen laptops, amirite? They were a bad idea and a crime against ergonomics.

This but unironically. The funniest product in Apple's lineup right now, bar none, is the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. Apple spent 15 years refining their replacement for the laptop, and it's a touchscreen laptop that runs less software.

You'd think that Apple would stop themselves after reinventing the 2013 Microsoft Surface. Then they reprised Hololens with Vision Pro - how was nobody paying attention to Microsoft's failures at Cupertino?

		tbh, Apple lost the plot for the iPad with iPadOS 26. They brought floating windows, a menu bar, and more mouse and keyboard features but then took away the UX that made it a great touch tablet - no more slide over, and no more quick split view you have to drag the windows your self or tap the green dot and then choose your split ratio - too many extra clicks. They managed to turn it from a great tablet to a shitty laptop to the point that now I don't even see a reason for owning one if you have a macbook air, unless you REALLY need the pencil.

		It's a touchscreen laptop that runs less software and somehow costs more than the actually great laptop they sell at similar size. That magic keyboard pricing is... woof.
