A folding display feels so… anti-Apple. The crease in the middle of the screen and reduced durability go against their general perfection and the user choice of a different form factor is not something they usually do. Plus, half the reason I would buy a Samsung Fold is so that I can run too apps at once side by side and more space for floating apps, but Apple has never had such power-user features. I will be very surprised if they actually release one.

It’s actually quite on-brand for apple.
Usually, Android manufacturers come up with a feature that’s actually half decent, but needs a good polish to actually take off.
Apple comes in, refines it to that polish + messaging with their cult, it takes off and Apple claims credit

True, but they’re certainly behind the curve on this one. I’ve seen a number of non-tech people out and about with folding phones.

I agree except for the side by side which can be found on iPads. But it’s still a stupid idea IMHO.
