I thought this was a joke at first. I do not understand the demand for such a device at all.

It's not pretty, it doesn't look very functional. The selling point is "a bigger screen", but never once in my life have I looked at my phone and thought "Make it bigger."

What is a joke? Foldable phones have existed for years at this point, if anything Apple is catching up. And plenty of people want bigger phones.

2,000$. No thanks. Not convinced there is a big market for this device although not upset Apple trying new things.

I don't think I would want this device for $500, let alone what Apple is asking. What is the appeal? There are a few screen scenarios that make sense for my life: (1) Multiple displays at desk to work; (2) TV + couch; (3) laptop + lap or surface; (4) phone (anywhere). I'm never in need of a tablet. If I needed that screen real estate, I'd be reaching for my laptop.

Apple sold something like 60M ipads in 2025. Perhaps you are not the target audience

You can have TikTok and Instagram-Reels opened at the same time... Don't you want that ?!
