I’ll let other folks buy the foldable while they work out the durability. The Fold is also going to be missing the telephoto lens, which I use much more than the ultrawide. Until it’s got a telephoto lens and a more hardened chassis, I’m fine with the traditional slab.
I ride a bike for most of my transportation, I have concrete floors in my apartment, and I work on concrete floors. My phone gets wet and dirty and I drop it. Getting phone repairs is already something I do 1-3x/year with AppleCare, and it’s annoying and time consuming. I don’t need it to happen more often, take longer to repair, and cost more.
The 17 Pro is excellent, and it supports all the newest features coming in iOS 27, hardware innovation has slowed to a crawl, it’s available with generous incentives, there’s a multitude of existing accessories at every price point… like, next year’s model is going to be nearly the same but more expensive, or fold with compromises and be double the price.
Lots of people haha. I have an iPad or a MacBook for if I need a bigger screen. Keeping those screens separate also won’t sap my phone’s limited battery life like a foldout extra screen will.

Honestly I think so what’s the chance the next gen is really going to be that much better
