With folding phones still much more expensive than traditional phones and tablets, while I hope Apple makes an iPhone that turns into an iPad, I don't see such a device replacing the iPad mini anytime soon.
Folding phones are the big new thing for 2019, with Huawei's 5G-capable Mate X taking the fight right up to Samsung's Galaxy Fold, both due by mid-2019, and the previewed but unavailable until 2020 DragonHinge screens from TCL.
Is the end of flat screens nigh? Probably not, as flat devices are sure to be with us for years yet, but with TCL's patented DragonHinge set to fire up MWC 2019, the Game of Phones is set to enter a whole new chapter.
Samsung's new 2019 smartphones are here, with the top-end models set to require a lot of the folding stuff to acquire, with a new folding phone, new S10 models, 5G, wearables and more.
