But the Modern Samsung foldable is $1000, which is the same price as the S22 or iPhone14. Where is the price disparity ? It will take a while for foldables to get to the $600 price range simply because of manufacturing challenges and tooling. Tooling prices go down with scale.

Samsungs bloatware is on the phone, but its barely even bloatware anymore at this point. Google revamps and abandons apps every couple of years, while Samsung stock apps tend to be consistent and reliable. Everyone hates on Bixby, but nobody talks about how Bixby Routines is more powerful and user friendly than any Google Home automation.
Just as an example, Samsung Calendar follows OneUI app design principles, syncs with Google Calendars, and uses the Samsung System UI for Reminders. Samsung Clock syncs alarms across devices, and uses the same System UI for Alarms.
In my experience with Nexus and Pixel phones in the past, its far more inconsistent.

I was completely convinced that I could make a ZFlip4 work and went far enough to save up money for it and do my research. But had to stop myself because of two options you HAVE to consider before buying it.
- Get insurance on the phone and pay a about 1/3 the phones price for it.
- Not get insurance but be ready to cough up 2/3rd the phones price when it breaks.
My current phone is a Note10 I got for $750 right after launch and cumilatively spent about $80 over 3 years on Cases and Screen Protectors. I somehow dont have the confidence that the ZFlip4 will be that maintenance free.

Or rather, have this tech evolve to the point where the stretch allows the display to increase from 6" to 9-10" ... where it essentually goes from phone to tablet without any folding or creasing at all.

I just checked out the list and am surprised that the First few gens of Apple TV are also obsolete. A device that streams video content over HDMI has no reason to be obsolete. The original Chromecast from 2013 still run the latest software and can do all the features that the newer Chromecast with Google TV does.

I guess if youre american, SMS is pretty important.
Most of Asia just relies on Whatsapp and Europe on FB Messenger. Nobody even cares for SMS here anymore

At samsung.com
The ZFlip 3 and 4 both launched at $999 and have dropped in price since.
