LG Mobile leaves behind a legacy of innovation and a stubborn contrarian streak – often at the expense of the mainstream appeal that might have made it a larger success.

Finally: the one I think we all hope actually makes it to market someday. TCL's "Scrollable" is about the size of a Galaxy Note 10+ when closed ... but a little pull on the edge causes motors to deploy the screen into tablet mode, unfurling like a pirate's treasure map.

People aren't thinking long-term about this.
USB means no more hoping the bartender or Uber driver has the same phone as you when you need to bum a charge. It means no more "we're out of that" at the airport tech store if you forget your cable. Now, any charger is the right one.
I want you all to remember back to a few months ago when I said consumers won't be happy with the port swap
Look this is a needed swap but people aren't going to be happy. It'll hold people back a bit, not forever but a bit
But buying a bunch of new cables is a pain in the ass

There's a lot about Apple, as a brand, that's hard to take. The self-importance, the affected effortlessness, the $$$. I get it.

1) This is a big deal. If Samsung wants to preserve consumer faith in the Z Flip, it needs to explain the nature of the UTG screen.
2) But I'd still buy one. A flip phone protects the screen while closed. My Fold is still doing great after 45 days.
