    The biggest problem with these is the price. Apple wants us on a two year upgrade cycle but these phones are $1500-2000. That’s insane.

      Apple was actually the first to offer several years of software updates and usually their hardware has been very durable. The 1-2 year upgrade cycle on Apple was only ever for stupid clout chasers who think it matters if you have the latest. Among regular Apple users, keeping a phone for years isn’t uncommon.

      Still wouldn’t buy one of these because I don’t want my phone to fold. I want a new iPhone mini. And ideally a Mini Pro.

        I’m not sure if it’s possible but a mini pro but with good battery life would be the ultimate phone for me personally. I’m basically always on my feet but use my phone a lot so a large battery is important, but I also want a small phone and a good camera. I doubt that’ll happen though.

      He says potentially 2000-2500 for this one.

      I just bought a 1-year-old phone I really like for $120
