For me it’s definitely the durability concerns. I’ve valued my phone’s water and dust resistance since getting an ip67 phone years and years ago. My brother had a flip and a grain of sand in his pocket got under the display; when he closed the phone the display died. And they expect me to pay more for the privilege.

    My phone hasn’t died yet, so I can’t justify buying a new one.

    I’m also afraid if my phone is too good, I’ll stop using my computer as much where I’m more productive

    Edit: wow, looking at the poll results, this is definitely a minority opinion. Most people are about price/durability

      I totally get you on that second point, though I feel different on it. I feel regardless of phone type I would use it the same amount but I would like to have a Z fold when they’re better to merge tablet and phone into one. I’m absolutely one for durability though.
