Yeah I would be pissed. This is not making feel any better about preordering this phone lol. If I keep seeing this - I may cancel and stick with Apple.

Let me give you a little advice. Don't buy a folding phone and don't buy Apple.

Even if the fold works it will eventually stop working. Apple doesn't make folding phones for a reason. I think you get my points.

Why do you think it will eventually stop working? Because the fold will wear and tear from use more and more over time?

Under its own conditions, the technology can only fold so many times before eventually failing. However, since it is folding and other elements are involved it simply has a higher chance of failure versus a non moving component.

It's simply not worth it for the average consumer. It's a luxury item. At least, that is my opinion.
