even with the best software in the world, a decent midrange camera will still take better photos than any phone you can fit in your pocket.
sensor size, lens size, optics, light gathering ability, all of that matters. software can compensate for a lot, but it cannot repeal physics.
the same thing applies to foldable phones. if a display is being bent over and over again, there is no realistic way for that section to remain completely unaffected forever.
folding the same screen hundreds of thousands of times in a controlled lab and saying, "see, no crease, problem solved," does not mean much in real life. people drop phones, sit on them, expose them to heat, cold, dust, pressure, uneven folds, and a thousand other variables that do not exist in a durability test.
and i say all of this as someone who does not even use an iphone.
the reason this stuff annoys me is that there are only a handful of companies on earth with basically unlimited research and development budgets.
instead of spending all that money figuring out how to make a phone fold in half, maybe improve battery technology enough that i can charge my phone once and use it for several days.
but apparently that is not flashy enough.
the new phone has to look obviously new when someone takes a mirror selfie with it.
