It's the horrible form factor.

I listed the 3 ways to make a folding phone (with examples) in my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49636355

If they had chose either of the other two folding formats, and reduced the amount of screen they cut off in the corners, they probably would have had gold on their hands and shifted the market towards foldables.

Instead, they chose the bad one.

Triple fold just seems awkward as heck, plus you have to design the UI for it around the fold section. I’m pretty bullish on the duo design. Hopefully we see some more unique designs in the future if this works out.

You don't have to design UI around the fold, it's seamless in regular use.

It's just a tablet.

Are you new to HN? There is literally nothing that the users on this site won't bitch and moan about.

I have an 11 Pro iPhone, which I’ve had since 2019 now may be the time to upgrade.
