Report: Apple is testing foldable iPhones, having the same problems as everyone else::Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

If I were to get an iPhone, the primary reason would be for longevity. The update support has just been so hard to find on Android. Let's see now that Google and Samsung are pledging more than 2 OS updates, but their commitment remains to be seen.

It’s pretty awesome that I got nearly a decade out of my last phone. I didn’t upgrade because it wasn’t meeting my needs either, I upgraded because I had been through 10 screens in that time and the connectors were in bad shape. I’d have to smack it to get the screen on sometimes, or pop the screen up and push on the connectors.
