“like this guy, the Unihertz Titan, which is basically a giant BlackBerry clone with a physical keyboard. I have a Pixel Fold. I have a Motorola Razr Flip phone. I have just all kinds of different ideas about phones. And I've developed a theory, which is that if you just want to do basic phone things, then this, the sort of candy bar phone that we've had since the iPhone, is essentially right. It is the most jack of all trades form factor that we've found. It's a screen. It has speakers. It sort of fits in one hand. It does just about everything pretty well. And …”

And I think we're at a point where if you want to deviate from that, you have to make a really good case. And I mean, I don't mean case in terms of like, you know, the thing you put on your phone, those are helpful. But you have to explain to users what this is for. And I think to the question about foldable phones here, my biggest theory here is that …”

Foldable phones struggle to define their purpose in a market dominated by traditional smartphones. While companies like Samsung tout the advantage of larger screens, users are left wondering what unique benefits these devices offer. Without a compelling 'killer app,' foldable phones may remain niche products despite the excitement surrounding them.
“… I'm going to start off by saying that I'm completely blind, so there's a lot of things I can't do myself, but the problem I'm having is I have a Google Pixel 9, and the phone can be sitting on the table or on the couch beside me, and it'll hear a phone number from the radio, from my smart speaker, and it'll dial that number with me not saying anything. I want to stop that. Ah, okay. This sounds – I listen to American radio and I get dinged long distance calls calling the states. Yeah, that's a problem. I mean it's – so basically it sounds to me that Google is listening and – I mean obviously …”
“alright, let's go to Greg in Canada line 1, Greg you are on with Rich I'm going to start off by saying that I'm completely blind, so there's a lot of things I can't do myself, but the problem I'm having is I have a Google Pixel 9, and the phone can be sitting on the table or on the couch beside me, and it'll hear a phone number from the radio, from my smart speaker, and it'll dial that number with me not saying anything.

I mean it's – so basically it sounds to me that Google is listening and – I mean obviously we know that phones are always listening for a hot word, right, to activate. And with Google, that's typically, hey, Google or OK, Google. And so my phone just activated when I said that. Sorry if I just activated lots of phones across the country. But, you know, so that's what's happening. I think this kind of phantom calling that you're talking …”

Greg from Canada, who is blind, faces an unusual problem with his Google Pixel 9: it dials random phone numbers when it hears them on the radio or smart speaker. This occurs because the phone is too sensitive to its voice activation feature. The host suggests potential solutions, including adjusting settings and using a 'flip to shush' feature to prevent accidental calls, highlighting the challenges of accessibility with technology.

The iPhone Fold might launch in 2026, but conflicting reports suggest it could be delayed until 2027.

Despite the uncertainty, an announcement is likely to coincide with the iPhone 18, though delivery may lag behind.
“… problems with um it being too isolating like it's a very flawed product it's it's it's not just a price problem And so when it comes to the foldable, I don't think it's going to be what Apple fans have said for years, which is that, oh, well, Apple's sitting it out and waiting until they can deliver something that really does something different to the competition. Because we're actually still expecting the Galaxy Fold 7, which is getting on for a year now, to be thinner and to have more cameras, including a telephoto camera. so what what has apple been waiting for what is this device …”
