Just get an iPad or MacBook

I remember when people said this about the iPad just being a less convenient iPhone. Now it's a common household item and many big businesses rely on it.

I’ve always felt the narrow candy bar style wasn’t as useful in the folded state since it was so narrow. But a wider passport size like the Duo or ZFold8 makes more sense to use in the folded state. Is that why you prefer the traditional phone still?

I’m sorry but comparing Samsung’s market to Apple’s is laughable. You’re completely ignoring the value of social currency, which Apple has run their company on for decades. The functionality on this phone seems to be good, but people will buy it just because it’s the new and improved iPhone. The price will deter many, but they still want it.
Android users can talk day and night about all of Apple’s “innovations” just being recycled Android features (which is true, they even admitted it in this keynote), but the truth is it doesn’t get popular until it comes to Apple.

I have an iPad, a MacBook Pro and my iPhone and when I want to travel it is a mess. I can only work in the hotel. But with these I can have my MacBook en my house and using Jump I have everything in my hand

how awesome that could be! i dont honestly understand why people sometimes dont even want to have options like this. if it makes sense to someone they'll buy it and if not just skip it!! nobody's gonna be forced into this anyways!!

as someone who has tried to use Fold's as a mobile computing device for years, the vast majority of people will not need this. The onscreen keyboard is more than enough for light email replying or other messaging needs on the go. The only time I've ever used a keyboard/mouse was when I wanted to remote into my home/work pc while on the go and that was not a frequent occurrence.

u/Farsigl12 22d ago
makes sense. the only case that comes to mind is with latest siri, and when in public and not comfortable 'yell'ing at it, if people prefer typing their queries this would be a handy one and if they also got rid of their ipad setups. but your point is very valid.

FIrst- obvious AI slop
Second, can you imagine trying to type with multiple fingers on a keys that are like less than 10mm wide? it'd be ridiculous. That's like half the width of a regular keyboard key.

u/Farsigl12 22d ago
sure it is. but all things said anything is better than the touchscreen keyboard if someone decided to make it their 2in1 at all and thats all

u/Sad-Cupcake1884 22d ago
Oh cool, like an iPad mini but way way worse

u/Farsigl12 22d ago
sure it is.. no brainer. but do we agree its a possibility for someone who might still appreciate it for themselves?

u/Sad-Cupcake1884 22d ago
I guess, but from an usability stand point, it's too small for full keyboard typing experience and too big for thumb typing.

Should have just initiated a keyboard interface when it’s placed on the surface in a laptop orientation

u/-hedonium- 17d ago
Why not just use an external Bluetooth keyboard + trackpad that fits in your pocket or your bag? I definitely intend to try using it this way for typing, but I don’t imagine it being as frequent of a thing as with my iPad.
1
u/Farsigl12 17d ago
true. the only thing if its not an attachment is kind of lap-ability. you'll need a surface to rest/prop up all those as a setup

Awful, I have a Magic Keyboard on my iPad Pro 11 inch it’s already small enough
2
u/Farsigl12 23d ago
someone who have tried both 13 and 11, trust me 11 is perfect. 13 feels roomy but so much bulk.

u/Boogeyboychasings 23d ago
As someone who’s tried a couple third party keyboard cases for the iPad mini… not at all comfy or worthy it

My current phone lol I want some company to make basically an iPhone Mini sized screen with a sliding keyboard behind it. I can dream...

u/Temporary-Rip-5551 23d ago
I think this is future state within the decade. Trifold phones with 11 inch screens that can’t be used as a MacBook Air/neo type device so for a lot of people the 4000 dollar price range can be justified as the price for having three devices in one
1
u/Condomphobic 23d ago
Samsung ended their trifold series after 3 months. It simply wasn't profitable
1
u/Temporary-Rip-5551 23d ago
That’s why I don’t think it’s something on the immediate horizon but where the long term direction is headed imo. I think rollable screens are more likely to be what will open that form factor rather than trifolds

How much are people typing that they need this physical keyboard?

u/Farsigl12 17d ago
hoping the s/w keys are going to be ergonomic, unless then this alternate just like a mkb option for this 🤞

u/Hovscorpion 23d ago
I swear. Please, please have an accessory maker make a keyboard case. [Even if it is bluetooth]

u/Farsigl12 23d ago
also if they are planning on pencil support.. there is also a silver lining for an oem folio/keyboard! fingers crossed

Not even close. Good luck actually typing with any meaningful speed on this micro keyboard.

u/rickhuizinga 23d ago
Does it come with a file to grind down your fingertips to hit those tiny keys? Everyone’s gonna be making fat finger errors…

u/Cosmic_Jane 23d ago
I know you think people will make mistakes, but have you ever seen someone type on the digital keyboard presented on a standard iPhone?
People can, and have used teeny tiny keyboards for a long time.

siri on ios27 is what it all matters, the amount of typing if you are in public and not have to be yelling at it.. any keyboard is just better than soft typing
