people say apple is often the brave company that does something unpopular that is then followed by everyone.

i think, genuinely, the brave thing for apple to do here is to cut the foldable. they could even use this leaker as an excuse to make a big splash in the news (although, maybe that will send a bad signal, that leakers have the power to end products - so maybe not.)

cut this project. nobody wants this, its a dumb gimmick aped by handset guys who are trying to differentiate their product with no real ideas or use cases.

maybe it has merit as a research project and an existence proof. but even so - where would you stick a flexible display? maybe inside the vr goggles? but who wants vr anyway? another tiny niche product with no mass market appeal.

i already left another comment on another apple thread - apple should go for the server market. offer self-hosting, but vertically integrated. do for servers what ubiquiti did for routers/networking. i keep seeing people buying mac studio clusters and hooking them up in ad-hoc thunderbolt networks. yes ofcourse social media is not 'the world', but it is a signal. I see mac minis being rack-mounted in the most janky ass looking rigs imaginable. there is a desire for this. people want servers "done right" with no corners cut, which is what apple is all about.
