Theyve got foldable iPhones now, the iphone Duo - it uses the apple pen as well

Theyve got the iphone 18 pro which comes in different colours - theyve got pop start Rosé photoshopped with a burgundy one 😩 for some reason

New Apple watches that record conversation so that you can rewind 15seconds and see what was just said

Are you arsed? Will you buy the latest models?

I bought the orange iphone last year and returned it, and went straight back to Samsung, far superior imo!

I love a new phone and often upgrade mine far earlier then is necessary. I thought I would be desperate to get the fold but I really don’t like the look if it. The shape of it when folded is short and stumpy looking. I do have a pro max iPhone though so used to a decent sized handset.

I'll get a new phone when mine is no longer functioning well. I have a 16 so I think it should function well for at least a couple more years. I'm not sure I can be bothered opening and shutting a folding phone when I could just have an ordinary one. I don't really see the point.

I love the look of it. It’s part of the appeal to me. I prefer the squarer screen to the long thin one that you usually get on a phone

They look great, but the price for me for much to high I got as far as the pro max 13 so I’ll stick with that on my sim only plan, till it dies!

I can’t fathom spending more on a phone that a new iMac Pro laptop.

I am old enough to remember when "car phones" were a thing and when you needed a bag to carry the first portable phones.

Then they got smaller and smaller and fit easily into pockets and purses. I loved them! Flip phones were my favorite of them all.

It seems that little by little we are going back to the "I need a bag to carry my phone", not because of the weight but because they are getting bigger and bigger.

Yes--I am just joking around so please save your snark for the park please!

I had a bag from an old mobile used to use it for uni, they are great bags, that took me back.
