Phone upgrades even though there’s barely any change from the last model.
Since 2018, the trend seemed to be going toward removing features instead... sd card slot, headphone jack, physical buttons, intrusions of screen space...
consumers have noticed, since sales of smartphones have plateaued
Foldable are pretty neat, but still too expensive for most
Been eyeing that (still on a 6 year old phone), actual compactness is one of the few things I'd be willing to sacrifice most of the smartphone things I like for.
I have the fold and I wouldn't call it compact, the flip style phones seem better for that aspect, I just enjoy the large screen when I use it for gaming or watching videos, it's certainly more compact then if I had a tablet instead I suppose.
Might be better to wait and let it mature a bit if size is your main concern.
I was going to go with the Z Flip over the Fold, I'd want that half size phone.
The flip is pretty great, you can close the pockets on the front of your shirt now if you wear those type. First phone I've managed to not smash or send up a grain auger.
Smartphone sales are at their lowest since 2013. Everyone has figured this out now.
I think that's the hidden cause of increasing phone pricing. I'm still using my note 9. The battery is starting to give so maybe this time next year I finally upgrade.
