This shouldn't be a 1.0 version of a phone with a folding screen, though, android phones have been doing this for a loooong time now and they are not and haven't been flaky tech for some time now. I guess you're right about Apple and this SKU, though. A bit surprising, I'm not an iPhone person but I always expect them to do pretty rigorous QA.
It is ver 1.0 for Apple. Same as touchscreen for laptops. Apple hasn't done it.
They're always a few versions behind, but somehow manage to get credit for the "innovation".
"it just works" has been wrong for so long

That's called marketing. And a customer base willing to eat whatever garbage you're feeding them.
They just call their stuff random names?
Oh this? It's our dingligongle 5000. No, no it only LOOKS like a USB cable, but see that apple logo?
Don't they use Samsung displays though? If so I would have expected a similarly matured display vs this but maybe that is no longer the case anymore. It has been well over a decade since I cared about anything iPhone related, so I could be well out of date here
That's a really good point. However, it looks like the displays aren't identical. So it could be Apple design decisions or maybe they want a thinner display. Who knows?
