its worse than just price, its closer to total replacement item, requiring transplant of some unitized components from the original corpse.

I would support the weirdest Kickstarter pipe dreams just to throw some fuel into the fire of technological creativity but for the life of me I can’t figure why I would ever want a foldable smartphone with a screen 2x the size of my iPhone Pro Max
I would love to be able to unfold it to be twice as wide when surfing or maybe playing games.
But that’s impossible.
It would either have to be twice as thick, which is a deal killer, or I could have had a phone the size of my current one that’s half as thick. Which means it could be as thick as today but with more battery/power/features.
That’s not saying anything about the screen problems like having a seam or it not be perfectly flat or needing inside + outside screens.
