Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
I already pay with my watch.
I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.
My concession here would be wink devices, kindle voyage and an A4 device Fortnite taking. Don’t need them, but they are handy AF.
Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.
(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)
Just… why…?
some origami sheet
this is going to be like the Gillette blades
That’d be cool. Buy one cheap phone frame, and a pack of 8 screen+electronics assys for $20,000.
They already stuck a screen on the back
Is it stupid? Yes! Yes it is certainly. But I’s it fucking stupid? It certainly is fucking.
Holding out for the Anne Frank Trapper Keeper phone.
Do you mean Lisa Frank, the artist for colorful animals on school supplies, and not Anne Frank, the famous diarist who was killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust?
Shit. That’s a big oops. Been a very long day.
Holy shit we just witnessed Lemmy culture 🥲
Ok, now I want an Anne Frank Trapper Keeper.
Lmao thank you for leaving your comment unedited.
An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.
Or, perhaps a mashup of both???
I was really wondering if I had missed something about Anne Frank.
I kinda always wanted Penny’s computer book from Inspector Gadget.
Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size

Clicks keyboard?
The paragraph with prices says it includes a foldable keyboard. I would have loved to see it… It’s probably shit but I’m enticed…
they actually made one for this and it folds 🫨
they also give a keyboard for that extra screen size
Exactly, if you’re going to add mechanical elements that will break it better be a keyboard
Westworld here we come!
I would be scared to drop this thing
Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.
The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.
Trifold wallet tho
Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.
trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective
- triple; threefold
- having three parts a trifold screen
And two fold is how many screens ?
2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.
Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.
How can something fold into one part then ?
I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?
Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)
Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.
Screw that, I want a phone that folds into a fucking origami crane
Y’all are so stuck in the old linear thinking. Be brave, expand your mind. Rubik’s cube phone when?
I can hear the sand crunching.
My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.
do not want. want removable and replaceable batteries and storage, also a headphone jack because fuck you.
And while we’re at it, a physical tactile keyboard.
I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.
Motorola has ⅔ of that on many models.
Removable battery not an option though.
I could complain about my experience from a few motos the recent years but let’s just say I would no longer recommend getting a moto.
I like removable batteries, but I like waterproofness combined with thin more.
Easily serviceable batteries are a great compromise IMO.
Why is there a “but”?
Because I like…
Big "but"s
That ain’t gonna satisfy the shareholders so fuck you instead
yay, it solves every non-existent problems!
