Yup, a friend of mine has been into folding phones for some years now, and he warned me that these foldables seem to last about two years before something happens. (He didn't quite specify what would happen, though.)

I got a friend on a fold going on four years now, it's fine. Milage varies I suppose.

I should have noted, it doesnt look as good as a slab phone does after that period. The crease is now (at least to me) very noticable, but it does still work. I've been watching his to see if I should make the transition away from Apple back to Android haha.

I have a friend that doesn't have a foldable phone. I'm skeptical such phones even exist.
