TechAltarI keep hearing from a very loud group of people that "nobody wants foldables" and yet every statistic I see says the exact opposite

Dean Styles@Techaltar Is this reflected in sales numbers? Big difference between 'would buy' and actually buying the device.
Have they got the screens sorted out yet, or is the crease in them still causing issues?
I'm happy with my Pixel 7 Pro 👍
@deanstyles As the article says, we're at 18.6m expected this year, which is 5% of all premium (600 USD+ sales) this year. Given that literally every major Android brand is building at least one I think it's fairly obvious that they expect this to continue growing
@Techaltar Well I guess we'll see how those projected sales play out... especially outside of China. It looks like there's been solid growth in China but not as strong elsewhere.
