So it should be safe in airplane mode, no? If I can trust my device, that is.

What’s wrong with a grapheneOS device on airplane mode? Is firmware level tracking a confirmed thing?

I think it depends a lot on the style and size of pants, and it’s just a personal preference.

While I prefer smaller phones for how they feel in the hand, all of my pants could easily fit a phone 7" or larger. But if normal phones don’t fit in your pockets, then a folding phone makes sense.

Also personally I’m the sort of person who dislikes how bulky traditional wallets are, and I’m bothered by my earbuds case. But point taken that a folding phone still isn’t very thick generally.

Interesting, I always thought that was the pointless form factor. I guess I could see it being nice if you have really shallow pockets, although it seems like it would be uncomfortably thick compared to a normal phone when closed.

With the fold style, (especially trifold) It turns into a tablet you can carry in your pocket. Which would be worth it if it wasn’t fragile and twice the price of a phone + tablet.

i think it’s common with younger generations, especially when texting !!
