iPhones are too locked down for the hardware they have. I’m writing this on an iPhone 15 …

The foldable I like the most I’ve seen are the Motorola razrs. That’s vertical. The best fat foldables are going to be Android because of all the video game emulators for Android

I don’t understand the last sentence. All the video game emulators for Android compared to what OS? Because at this point, RetroArch emulates pretty much everything, and is available for Android and iOS. Running anything that needs hardware caching on iOS needs sideloading of course.

So what is it that makes the Android foldable experience better for emulators than, say, an iPad?

Interesting, didn't hear of that yet. Apparently, Apple changed their stance on emulators in summer 2024. Before that they had emulators banned completely from the iOS store. Now it appears that they allow them, at least Retroarch.
