    I had some issues with a Fold3 and had it replaced for some micro-cracks showing down the middle of the crease, but now I’m beating the shit out of a fold 7 and it’s been perfect for a year so far.

    apple got something wrong with the hinge design here, you’d think they’d get it right after holding off on folders this long though.

        To be fair, being behind the curve and then coming into the market and refining that Model T into a Rolls Royce is a time honored business model. But the tricky part is to come out with an actual Rolls Royce without a hiccup.

        Apple missed the mark here.

      These Folds are built like tanks (relative to the complexity). The engineering is really impressive.
