Until you looked up what those old friends and family post and see that your rose-tinted memories of those people are now forever marred by the knowledge that uncle Bob is a furry, your homeroom teacher is the most active member in his flat earth society group and your first crush is now (more conveniently) organizing Trump rallies.

Reply to comment by ImChimeraX in Folding phones by being_igor

I just had folds in hand at store displays and there every model had both tactile and visual creases. Maybe it's because they get opened and closed more often than usual day-to-day usage, but I would expect that a week-old display phone wouldn't be opened and closed more times than a personal phone after a few months.

Maybe it's more like noise pollution where you just don't notice it anymore after a while. Let's call it "crease pollution".

Novelty I assume. The Smartphone market is pretty stagnant with just minute details changing year to year, so something like folding phone is some fresh air. But for me it's not of interest until they manage to get it into a form factor close to the original Motorola Razr (Not the recent reboot fold). another huge turn off is the visible crease you get with current tech - a huge no-go.
