I can't wait for Apple to announce in a key note they've revolutionised the phone market again with the world's first folding phone.

Those apple boys are so talented 😊.

Did you say folding phone? Ew

I think you'll find it's the new iPhone 17 with dynamic flex technology and that Tim Cook will repeatedly say on stage that this has "never been done before".

But what apple specific non standard proprietary shit will they implement that you will have to buy from them for 10 times the price that competitors offer the equivalent. This is the interesting question.

The case for one - do you want a case without Dynamic Flex ©®™ compatibility like some commoner?

I would have previous said a folding lightning cable connector, but the EU have saved me the bother.

This is no ordinary folding phone my friend. Behold 'The HiNGE'!

Leveraging our proprietary ROTATIONâ„¢ technology

They actually was first with folding smartphone though, remember iPhone 6 bending drama

Me too, because in spite of marketing garbage the product will probably be best in class or at least providing competition thereof.
