Are foldable phones really in demand, or is this just the latest tech fad? What is the real usage case for a folding phone?

It just seems like 3D TVs to me.

I already carry a large-screen Google Pixel 7 Pro and my laptop. My iPad Air sits unused. My iPad Pro sits unused. My three other tablets that are out-of-date died while sitting unused. My Kobo, my Kindle, it's the same story.

Will a foldable replace my large-screen phone and laptop? I don't see it.

The foldable phones might replace tablets for some users. The advantage is if they are small enough to carry in a pocket but have big enough screens when unfolded to replace tablets. I don't have a folding phone, but that's how I would use it if I were to get one.

I've always thought it's a very strange market... The only person I know who uses a tablet on a consistent basis is my mum lol.
