Is Apple About to Make Foldables Mainstream? w/ Michael Fisher - Geared Up 209 Geared Up 2025-07-26 | This episode features special guest Michael Fisher (Mr. Mobile) and explores why foldable smartphones remain a niche, with less than 2 percent of buyers ever having used one. Major barriers include Android exclusivity, iPhone user lock-in, limited mainstream interest, and high prices. Apple’s reputation for turning obscure categories mainstream raises the question of whether a future iPhone Fold would legitimize the segment or simply reveal how little consumer appetite there really is for foldables.Hosts: @Andru & @jon4lakers Guest: @TheMrMobile Apple’s arrival in any product category can rapidly shift consumer perception, lending instant credibility to what was once seen as a novelty. Despite six-plus years and multiple iterations from Samsung and others, foldables have struggled to gain widespread traction, even as innovation continues. Real-world statistics show that adoption is slow and interest is still tightly linked to brand loyalty and ecosystem lock-in, rather than just hardware features.Hands-on experience with Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 highlights key improvements in ergonomics, camera systems, outer screen usability, and battery life. However, fast charging remains a notable weakness compared to competitors. Other technical debates include the ongoing value of S-Pen support, the importance of thinness versus durability, and how Chinese brands are advancing the market—though often at the cost of software polish or US market compatibility.A major segment covers Apple’s lawsuit against Jon Prosser over leaked iOS 26 details and device trade secrets. The panel discusses the legal and ethical lines between tech journalism, leaks, and trade secret theft, contrasting the current case with past experiences and lawsuits in the industry. Topics include privacy expectations for employees, Apple’s approach to leaks, and the impact such lawsuits have on creators, reporters, and the broader tech community.CHAPTERS00:00 - Mr. Mobile Michael Fisher Joins the Show02:30 - Greatest TV Episode of All Time08:15 - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Thoughts18:16 - The Upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold20:58 - Galaxy AI Features on Z Fold 722:40 - Samsung’s Slow Battery Charging Speeds23:35 - Removal of S Pen Support on Z Fold 726:27 - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Thoughts32:09 - Apple’s Foldable iPhone35:42 - Why Apple’s Foldable iPhone Will Matter44:23 - Clicks Keyboard Accessories for Smartphones48:52 - Apple Sues Jon Prosser56:35 - Jon’s Controversial YouTube Move

From accessibility concerns to the future of Apple UI, nothing is off the table in this deep-dive on the software that shapes our devices.Next, things get personal and surprisingly relatable as we trade stories about the realities of owning Teslas in 2025. From the headache of parking a Cybertruck in LA to the rush of chasing tax credits and timing new model releases, they unpack the true cost (and joy) of electric vehicles. The conversation gets into Tesla’s shifting lineup, what it’s really like to sell an EV in today’s market, and why even loyal Tesla fans are eyeing competitors like Rivian.

Prosser doesn’t hold back, calling iOS a “catastrophe,” while Rettinger suggests the rapid changes to apps like Photos are making the experience worse, not better. We discuss whether Apple’s relentless focus on hardware is causing them to lose ground in software — the very thing that used to set them apart.Hosts: @Andru & @jon4lakers Guest: @FrontPageTech Andru Edwards explains a key signal that may show a possible misstep by Apple in the AI race, suggesting they were unprepared for the rapid rise of tools like ChatGPT.
