Foldables Are Finally Answering The Durability Question
Hinges and display stacks have quietly improved. The remaining objections are about software, not hardware.
The early durability complaints were legitimate. Several generations of hinge and layer redesign have closed most of that gap.
What improved
- Hinge tolerances and dust ingress protection.
- Cover layer resilience under repeated folding.
What has not
Software continuity across two very different aspect ratios remains inconsistent, and that is now the main reason to wait.
