According to a new report, Samsung may not be making major changes to its 2025 foldables after all, but it’s still too early to tell.

    I keep seeing articles like this.

    Do you know why Samsung’s foldables sold so well each year prior to the last? Because they did something insane where they allowed the USA market to pay only $50-100 for the latest foldable if they just traded in their old model. They also often gave away free products with the phones like ear buds and watches.

    In 2024, they stopped that insane deal. Obviously sales plummeted as a result.

    I’m not saying that was at all a sustainable business model. But people are acting surprised when less people bought the newest line when they weren’t dirt cheap like the old ones and they are only iterative changes.
