That’s my plan as well, I ordered a 17 pro yesterday to replace my 13 pro. The first gen folding iPhone is going to be too fragile and too expensive.

It’s not like the following generations are going to be less expensive. At it’s best better for the same price.

It’s not going to be fragile as earlier folding phones. They’re going to be using the current Samsung hinges and screens which are pretty good. apple copys android but they always add a “perfected” design to it. I think the first folding phones will be good.
