I like the idea of the larger screen and fingerprint ID. The Face ID stuff never worked out for me. Never could get in the right position for anything to work out. The smaller screen for me seems to be really cluttered up and it’s hard to work with especially on the Walmart app. I never can’t get to the things I need because of all the advertisements. I just want everyone out there to know I’m just trying to do the best I can with what I got to work with and sometimes it never quite works. It might be nice to have the foldable iPhone and a larger screen. And I know everyone out there would say that wouldn’t work for me. But I’m going to probably try it anyway if I can. If anyone doesn’t like it, they might as well come beat me up.H Sent from my iPhone On Sep 12, 2026, at 12:24 AM, Joshua Hendrickson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: A foldible iPhone holds no interest for me at all.

Store that stuff somewhere and download it when you actually wanna watch it but that’s my opinion. You get what you pay for, and that was free. On the other hand, I love the idea of the touch ID coming back. But this phone is too expensive and I really don’t want a big old screen like that. I actually love the idea of the small screen. And I’m sure they’ll be a market for this thing. But I’m not spending two grand on the phone that’s gonna be worthless in a few years. I didn’t pay that much for my desktop computer. It’s insane!

I want the two terabyte phone because more then once I’ve been to low on storage space. I have a lot of tv shows I want to put on my 18 pro max when I get it.

Also, I do indeed agree about waiting to see how much of that 256GB is taken up with the new operating system before purchasing a new phone. I hadn't given it much thought, but it's a very good idea to do so.

But your point is very well taken. I love my 16 pro, and only if I can get a really good trade in would I consider an 18 pro. And, no one has said out of that 256 gb, how much is now taken with what must be a larger OS. So, mhow much less useable memory do you get for that money?

It has about a 7.4-inch display when unfolded. For comparison, the iPad mini has an 8.3-inch display. So, just for fun, I gave myself a $2,000 budget and went on an imaginary shopping trip at the Apple Store to see what else I could buy instead. These are only a few examples. Shopping Trip #1 — $1,426 • iPhone 17e, 256 GB — $599 • iPad — $449 • Apple Watch SE 3 — $249 • AirPods — $129 Total: $1,426 Money left over: $574 So instead of one folding iPhone, I could have an iPhone, an iPad, an Apple Watch, AirPods AND still have $574 in my pocket. Shopping Trip #2 — $1,526 • MacBook Neo — $699 • iPad — $449 • Apple Watch SE 3 — $249 • AirPods — $129 Total: $1,526 Money left over: $474 That's a MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods — four separate Apple devices — and I'm still almost $500 under budget. Shopping Trip #3 — Okay, I'll go slightly over budget: $2,125 • iPhone 17e, 256 GB — $599 • MacBook Neo — $699 • iPad — $449 • Apple Watch SE 3 — $249 • AirPods — $129 Total: $2,125 That's only $126 more than the $1,999 folding iPhone. For that extra $126, my shopping bag contains: • An iPhone • A MacBook • An iPad • An Apple Watch • AirPods Five Apple devices instead of one. I know folding-screen technology is expensive and I'm sure the engineering is impressive, but $1,999 for a 256 GB phone? Nope. At that price, I'm not comparing it to other phones anymore. I'm comparing it to how much of the Apple Store I can take home for the same money. 😂 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
