False. They are not niche at all. They don’t need to sell in the 100M mark.
Samsung has obviously sold the most. Apple isn’t going ro make them sell any better. Apple will just sell their own because it’s just gonna be an iPhone that folds and the ifans will just buy it because it’s from Apple even though it won’t be any better then a 1st gen device from any other oem.
No matter who makes it, it’s gonna have the same flaws.
Apple isn’t going to sell anymore of them than anyone else.
The biggest issue is price. For something so fragile it costs to much and offer zero benefits.
If someone makes a 7″ tablet that opens to a 14″ one that would be cool.
If Apple makes a folding phone tbey aren’t going to sell anymore in the 1st year as anyone else has done. In fact they will sell less of them.
Apple is t the company that made smartphones a household name, Samsung did.
Apple jas and likely always will benefit feom stealing or using other people ideas an concepts.
Apple 1st folding phone if they make one, will be just like the 1st Apple Watch. A whole bunch of promises, but the result will be a product that is less as good as another oems 1st gen product where other oems are already far ahead.
Samsung is on their 6th gen product in this category. That’s 6 years of experience and working out all the kinks. Now that they have been worked out and tbey have spent all the money, here comes Apple with their 1st gen version that will just steal what Samsung has already fixed in this form factor.
You give Apple to much credit. Every product they makes sucks compared to similar products from others at better pricing, flexibility and capability.
I won’t ever buy any folding phone for myself. My wife wanted the Flip so I bought her the 5. I played with it for 5 mins and I was instantly board. The phone has awesome camera features, but it’s basically just a base S that folds. Nothing special about them.
You gius have your heads so far up Apple’s @$$ you think everything they do will be an I start hit, when facts shows it hasn’t been.
