Damn, I’m glad you made this comment as that is an amazing gif!

Yup, hard agree with you on that last point.

That’s an interesting example, but note that in Europe, at least, WhatsApp is king. I only mention it because the walled-garden approach Apple favours isn’t necessarily a guaranteed outcome, and third-party apps can happily become the norm among non-tech people.

I can’t help but love flip phones, but definitely wouldn’t go near the folding-screen variety for a lot of generations. I hope one day to have something as robust as the old dumbphones.
