Chris Hoffman Regrets Galaxy Z Fold 6, Warns iPhone Duo Buyers to Save $800

Summary
More than a year with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 left Chris Hoffman often using it like a normal phone, leading him to caution buyers against assuming Apple’s iPhone Duo will justify its foldable design.
His main complaint is ergonomics: foldables are thick, awkward in one hand, and fragile enough that he rarely wants to unfold them while walking, standing, or doing quick everyday tasks.
Multitasking also fell short in practice, he said, because split-screen setups are slower and less natural than fast app switching or picture-in-picture on standard phones.
Apple’s first foldable may be among the most polished in the category, but Hoffman argues many buyers would be better off choosing an iPhone 18 Pro and saving $800.
