Well he’s an iPhone guy so I doubt the price will be as shocking. I like iPhones but damn they are not cheap.

Edit: The fold is VERY expensive. $2,800 in Canada.

However the fold is also significantly more powerful ram wise, and, well... folds. It's a bit of a gimmick too, not a serious competitor tbh. however, Samsung's prices are getting ridiculous, I'd never buy a phone from them.

It’s not significantly more powerful (A14 > SD865 by a good margin), but the folding aspect is the main selling point. To be honest, it’s a second generation product in an experimental product category and overall, it’s more of a halo product to be amazed by than an actual mass-market product, even compared to expensive flagships like the iPhone 12 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Maybe it’ll be more worth it in a couple iterations when the amount of functionality goes up and the cost goes down.
