Been an iPhone boy for a while but the fold 7 seems intriguing. Got to play around with it in the store a lot today and am even more intrigued. Want to hear thoughts from people that have experience with it though.

Had every one since the 2. The 7 not being a brick anymore is so nice, I was about to jump off after the 6 being so tired of how thick and heavy it was. Awesome phones, love not having to carry or own a tablet can just open my phone.

Sales really exploded with the 7 too I see them everywhere especially when traveling.

Yea I’m looking into moving into a role decently soon where having the added screen space would be a huge bonus for me. I love the way they ran when playing with it in the store. Part of me wants to wait to see what Apple does in September but I also have been looking for an excuse to go android for a bit now.

They are releasing a new one alongside the Fold 8 in August the Z Wide Fold, it is a passbook style one with a 4:3 screen.

I know the 7 was a pretty major update. I’m guessing the regular 8 will probably be minor updates then?

Yeah, bigger battery finally and faster charging and the new zero crease display. Nothing too crazy the crease is already quite small and unnoticeable.

Yea the crease didn’t bug me at all like it did when I fooled with older models. What’s battery life like on the 7 in general?

I may wait for the 8 to drop and get the 7 discounted.

It's "fine" certainly not great. Same battery for many years now so finally getting a bigger one is very welcomed though. 4400 mAh to 5000 on the 8.

Average screen on time 5-5.5 hours. iPhone 16 Pro 6.5-7 hours, 15 Pro 5.5-6.5 so it's mostly like a 15 Pro.

Also massively depends on how you're using it. Tablet screen watching videos, streams, games etc versus outer screen texting, basic browsing.

I wouldn't recommend getting a folding phones first generation. Granted it's Samsung making it I'd still let it cook for a year.
