Thought on the rumour iPhone fold dimensions
I'm curious r/android‘s thoughts on the rumoured iPhone fold size and dimensions
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Similar-size-to-the-iPhone-13-Mini-Dummy-hands-on-gives-an-idea-about-what-to-expect-from-the-iPhone-Fold.1209221.0.html
Why do you think android manufacturers couldn’t get a device like this to market?
I personally love the passport-like size and orientation. particularly given the renewed focus of people trying to reduce their screen time. The sooner we get away from the vertical scrounge of Tiktok and Insta the better. So similar to the old Microsoft duo. So devo it didn’t make it.

EU messed up its legal text - and now there's no need for manufacturers to release any Android or security updates
It seems that the European Union's intent with Ecodesign legislation was to force Android manufacturers to provide software updates for several years.
But it seems the legislation was somewhat messed up and there's no such requirement, at all. Instead, updates that get released (if any) need to be downloadable for 5 years. But nope, no need to release updates for 5 years.
National authority which enforces the Ecodesign legislation confirmed this
