There’s one problem that plagues every foldable smartphone, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold perfectly encapsulates what that problem is.

    highlights the big foldable problem – nothing is ‘right’ yet

    This is everything these days. Products are being shipped before they’re complete just to be able to be the first to market (AI offerings most especially). It’s dogshit and it’s saddling consumers with things that are broken out of the box, because there’s no fixing a limitation of the design.

    Just check out these generic automated cat litter boxes that are killing cats. Apologies for reddit link. Capitalism is just shitting out whatever as fast as it can.

      Yeah, they’re just slinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. There’s no real thought put into anything these days. I’m very tired of the ‘Form over Functionality’ bs that’s being hidden behind fancy marketing.
