       “How is it a “bright spot” to lead a category whose sales round down to zero?” https://daringfireball.net/ @gruber we’ve all read about the drama at Apple pre iPhone 6 when Samsung had the popular Note line. Don’t discount folding phones and the existential risk to Apple’s biggest product.

       @hpridham Tou said it yourself: the large Samsung Notes sold well. They were popular. Foldable phones (to date) are not. Shipping unpopular foldable phones won’t help them ship the first popular one.

       @gruber I don’t know… it all feels too similar to the initial days of the phablet (remember that?). We laughed at XL Dell and htc phone, but then the note took off and everyone was left scrabbling. Total outsider opinion though, iPhone mini or smaller for me plz.
