I haven't owned a Samsung device in more than a decade. Are these ugly foldables the best thing that they can offer? 

not even the koreans themselves want a samsung (or to date an android user) anymore  

 

[Windy Day]

just look at the way samsung is straight off copying the iPhone design for its newer phones and you’ll realize that samsung is apple’s b*tch lmaoo and on top of that apple is opening a new apple store in seoul every single month. it was bad for samsung 😭

i live in korea and everybody has an iphone here lmaoo

this was even a trend on tiktok not long ago among high schoolers and it’s become even worse since then

 

 

so i really don’t know where they found that foldable phones were popular in asia 😭

I told people Vision Pro would be popular last year and so many users on here were calling me crazy…. And yet here we are. Vision Pro trending this week and will probably be very common in the next 2 years once it’s more affordable and upgraded

Vision Pro sweetie... i'm so sorry you being compared with.... that 

[Revolution]

both gimmicks

[Hexchromatica]

Hard to tell in its gen 1 state but the Vision Pro is definitely not where I need it to be yet. Then again, Watch Series 1 was unusably slow and iPhone 1 didn't have copy and paste

 

If they can fix the common complaint of not being able to use it for more than 30 minutes then it could be game changing, I'd love to watch content on it

Has Apple Vision Pro made any impact? Last I read it underperformed on launch by a significant amount.

i dont see vision pro taking off. aside from its ugly design. how tf do people with poor eyesight use it and be able to go outside without using eyeglasses. the problem with foldable is it has an android system. if it was on ios then it would absolutely eat the competition. bcoz the z flip looks ***** imo

The one winning the poll

It’s still way too soon to make any claims about it becoming a popular product let alone a success with staying power. An Apple product trending on social media is not a meaningful metric.

The thread backfire 

 

Better luck next time @Asscatchem

which "revolutionary tech" of the past few years is the bigger cultural reset?

The way both of these technologies are more than 5 years old apple fans really perpetually live in the last decade. 

 

OT: Both are gimmicks without an interesting use case yet. I just traded in my Samsung™ Z Flip 5 for a Galaxy 24 Ultra. My Meta Quest is collecting dust.

I was misremembering a news article from last July saying they were scaling back production.

Foldables are a cheap nostalgia gag and have no long lasting impact on the technology market today. 
 

Apple Vision Pro will likely flop due to the price but the concept will be what pushes technology forward and we will be seeing that impact in years to come.

What even is the use of a foldable phone other than to squander your money

Apple has neither in this case.

 

Playstation VR 2 is technically the most advanced mainstream consumer VR headset because of its foviated rendering and oled screen. As for foldables Samsung manufactures the part that actually folds for all other companies too so. The only spectacularly advanced thing about the apple vision pro is the camera feed being better than others.

and the apple one is missing any good apps  

[ohwow]

both overrated i fear but it's obviously the headset

however, unless they can make it look relatively sleek and inconspicuous most ppl will not use

[Zeferino]

Will wait for the Apple Vision Pro air 2  I’m just a broke girl 

and I thought you were referring to the iconic Motorola razr, hence my response to your poll
