I'm so glad I never fell for this gimmick. The tech looked sketchy from the beginning.
When the screen is fully floppy, that's when Im in. Flexible electronic paper exists. Why not in a phone?
Probably because that stuff would fail if you carried it around in your pocket with your keys and folded it 8000 times, too.
I'm sure you'd get more than three days out of it...
If you’re talking about eInk, the refresh rate and color fidelity are unacceptable for an apple device. There are eink phones on AliExpress, though. Just don’t expect apple-level quality.
And while Moebius uses a plastic substrate, Carta and Kaleido use glass and can be pretty fragile. My Boox reader’s display cracked when I worked it out of its case.
It could be e-ink, but I was talking more about the paper properties.
For people who don't watch video on mobile, an e-ink display would be great. I just wish there were more options.
