It might be for real this time. According to a Chinese tipster with a solid track record, especially when it comes to Samsung-related leaks, the company...
My Z Flip 6 died after a year even though I babied that thing. The screen would freeze or fail to turn on unless you warmed up the entire phone. I tried the press-to-reseat-the-cable trick. Nothing worked. Samsung wanted to charge me $400 to repair the screen because it was a month out of warranty.
Yeah I know a few people who swear by their Flips and Folds, and I really did like that phone, but the experience soured me (ha - lemons) on the folding screen.
I was considering moving to iOS for unrelated reasons anyway, so for an extra 200 over the cost of the screen replacement I just made the jump. Side note: after 13 years of Android, iOS sure is quirky.

This is why I have trust issues.
That is absolutely fair and valid. Lemons do happen. I just think they aren’t nearly as common as people fear.
