Uh I'm digging it. Uh, you know, the Uh I'm digging it. Uh, you know, the Uh I'm digging it. Uh, you know, the thing that I really love about this foam thing that I really love about this foam thing that I really love about this foam is, look how thin it is. is, look how thin it is. is, look how thin it is. >> About as thin as most premium uh slab >> About as thin as most premium uh slab >> About as thin as most premium uh slab phones, right? phones, right? phones, right? >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And when it's sitting on your desk, >> And when it's sitting on your desk, >> And when it's sitting on your desk, Yeah. you don't you don't Yeah. you don't you don't Yeah. you don't you don't >> u notice otherwise, you know, you just >> u notice otherwise, you know, you just >> u notice otherwise, you know, you just think it's just a regular slab think it's just a regular slab think it's just a regular slab >> um smartphone, right? And because before >> um smartphone, right? And because before >> um smartphone, right? And because before these things used to be so thick, these these things used to be so thick, these these things used to be so thick, these foldables used to be so thick. foldables used to be so thick. foldables used to be so thick. >> Yeah. They basically were like were >> Yeah. They basically were like were >> Yeah. They basically were like were foldable computers, right? Like a a foldable computers, right? Like a a foldable computers, right? Like a a netbook, netbook, netbook, right? right? right? >> That's a blast from the past. A netbook. >> That's a blast from the past. A netbook. >> That's a blast from the past. A netbook. >> Yeah. But when they when this thing is >> Yeah. But when they when this thing is >> Yeah. But when they when this thing is folded out, man, it is like ridiculously folded out, man, it is like ridiculously folded out, man, it is like ridiculously thin. I mean, look at that. thin. I mean, look at that. thin. I mean, look at that. >> That is razor thin. >> That is razor thin. >> That is razor thin. >> That is pretty Yeah. The camera bump is >> That is pretty Yeah. The camera bump is >> That is pretty Yeah. The camera bump is massive.

  9. massive. massive. >> Yeah. I mean, now now the camera bump's >> Yeah. I mean, now now the camera bump's >> Yeah. I mean, now now the camera bump's going to be thicker than the phone at going to be thicker than the phone at going to be thicker than the phone at some point, some point, some point, >> right? >> right? >> right? >> Yeah. Yeah. And here's the odd thing. If >> Yeah. Yeah. And here's the odd thing. If >> Yeah. Yeah. And here's the odd thing. If it wasn't for the camera bump, it wasn't for the camera bump, it wasn't for the camera bump, um, if it wasn't for the camera bump, um, if it wasn't for the camera bump, um, if it wasn't for the camera bump, we'd probably drop this thing all the we'd probably drop this thing all the we'd probably drop this thing all the time because it's so freaking thin. You time because it's so freaking thin. You time because it's so freaking thin. You know what I'm saying? So, for people who know what I'm saying? So, for people who know what I'm saying? So, for people who have larger hands are going to have have larger hands are going to have have larger hands are going to have trouble handling the phone trouble handling the phone trouble handling the phone >> when it's folded out because it's I >> when it's folded out because it's I >> when it's folded out because it's I mean, jeez, it's way thinner than Yeah. mean, jeez, it's way thinner than Yeah. mean, jeez, it's way thinner than Yeah. >> Right. So, um, frankly, uh, amazing >> Right. So, um, frankly, uh, amazing >> Right. So, um, frankly, uh, amazing piece of engineering here. We have to piece of engineering here. We have to piece of engineering here. We have to hand it to the folks at Samsung and hand it to the folks at Samsung and hand it to the folks at Samsung and undoubtedly our friend undoubtedly our friend undoubtedly our friend >> for putting together some. >> for putting together some. >> for putting together some. >> And you know what's uh really cool about >> And you know what's uh really cool about >> And you know what's uh really cool about this thing is uh it runs really cool this thing is uh it runs really cool this thing is uh it runs really cool considering how thin this thing is, considering how thin this thing is, considering how thin this thing is, right? You would think that because of right? You would think that because of right? You would think that because of how how how uh how thin it is that it would have uh how thin it is that it would have uh how thin it is that it would have trouble dissipating heat, trouble dissipating heat, trouble dissipating heat, >> right?

  10. >> right? >> right? >> Actually does a great job. >> Actually does a great job. >> Actually does a great job. >> It has a lot of surface area. So >> It has a lot of surface area. So >> It has a lot of surface area. So >> it does. It does. But still, do you know >> it does. It does. But still, do you know >> it does. It does. But still, do you know what I'm saying? what I'm saying? what I'm saying? >> Stacking you're not stacking stuff >> Stacking you're not stacking stuff >> Stacking you're not stacking stuff together together together >> and that Yeah. And and I think that's >> and that Yeah. And and I think that's >> and that Yeah. And and I think that's one of the advantages of now these one of the advantages of now these one of the advantages of now these foldable designs and and um what the foldable designs and and um what the foldable designs and and um what the OEMs like Samsung and Chinese vendors OEMs like Samsung and Chinese vendors OEMs like Samsung and Chinese vendors especially are are able to achieve now. especially are are able to achieve now. especially are are able to achieve now. And um And um And um >> I don't know it's pretty cool. >> I don't know it's pretty cool. >> I don't know it's pretty cool. >> I wonder if like using uh I know there's >> I wonder if like using uh I know there's >> I wonder if like using uh I know there's a lot of tools being used for EDA and a a lot of tools being used for EDA and a a lot of tools being used for EDA and a lot of tools Oh, I'm sorry. Debbiey's lot of tools Oh, I'm sorry. Debbiey's lot of tools Oh, I'm sorry. Debbiey's talking. talking. talking. >> All right, Debbie. >> All right, Debbie. >> All right, Debbie. So, do you uh find that you're using it So, do you uh find that you're using it So, do you uh find that you're using it a lot more? You like it? a lot more? You like it? a lot more? You like it? >> Um, yeah. I mean, I have to be honest >> Um, yeah. I mean, I have to be honest >> Um, yeah. I mean, I have to be honest with you. The with you. The with you. The I'm I'm still not really bought into the I'm I'm still not really bought into the I'm I'm still not really bought into the whole foldable thing. Um, I think for whole foldable thing. Um, I think for whole foldable thing. Um, I think for those who find it, those who find it, those who find it, you know, tickling their fancy. Okay. you know, tickling their fancy. Okay. you know, tickling their fancy. Okay. Yeah. All right. Uh, there are some Yeah. All right. Uh, there are some Yeah. All right. Uh, there are some folks who really love the foldable form folks who really love the foldable form folks who really love the foldable form factor, right? I still don't see the factor, right? I still don't see the factor, right? I still don't see the utility of it because what you end up utility of it because what you end up utility of it because what you end up experiencing is a lot of wasted space.

One of the things that I didn't really dig of the things that I didn't really dig of the things that I didn't really dig about, about, about, excuse me, the Windows phone is with excuse me, the Windows phone is with excuse me, the Windows phone is with Metro there was a lot of wasted space, a Metro there was a lot of wasted space, a Metro there was a lot of wasted space, a lot of navigation, right? I kind of feel lot of navigation, right? I kind of feel lot of navigation, right? I kind of feel you have that same problem with you have that same problem with you have that same problem with foldables. the OS and all the content foldables. the OS and all the content foldables. the OS and all the content are not um optimally are not um optimally are not um optimally formatted and designed to take advantage formatted and designed to take advantage formatted and designed to take advantage of the screen space or screen real of the screen space or screen real of the screen space or screen real estate. So, for instance, if you're estate. So, for instance, if you're estate. So, for instance, if you're watching a movie, you have these huge watching a movie, you have these huge watching a movie, you have these huge letter boxes on the bottom and the top, letter boxes on the bottom and the top, letter boxes on the bottom and the top, >> right? And you actually don't really get >> right? And you actually don't really get >> right? And you actually don't really get as much viewing space as you would if as much viewing space as you would if as much viewing space as you would if you just held a flab phone horizontally you just held a flab phone horizontally you just held a flab phone horizontally and were and you know you might have a and were and you know you might have a and were and you know you might have a smaller letter box on the left and right smaller letter box on the left and right smaller letter box on the left and right of your your screen, right? Um and so I of your your screen, right? Um and so I of your your screen, right? Um and so I mean you know it's just mean you know it's just mean you know it's just it takes away from the the advantage of it takes away from the the advantage of it takes away from the the advantage of having that kind of real estate. You having that kind of real estate. You having that kind of real estate. You know what I'm saying? because there's a know what I'm saying? because there's a know what I'm saying? because there's a lot of dead blank space. And that that's lot of dead blank space. And that that's lot of dead blank space. And that that's a problem a lot of the flip and the fold a problem a lot of the flip and the fold a problem a lot of the flip and the fold designs have. Even with the flips, you designs have. Even with the flips, you designs have. Even with the flips, you have all this wasted real estate on the have all this wasted real estate on the have all this wasted real estate on the top and the bottom, you know, and you top and the bottom, you know, and you top and the bottom, you know, and you know, media is just not formatted in a know, media is just not formatted in a know, media is just not formatted in a way that is uh, you know, conducive or way that is uh, you know, conducive or way that is uh, you know, conducive or can take advantage of uh these new um, can take advantage of uh these new um, can take advantage of uh these new um, >> but would you say that about the iPad as >> but would you say that about the iPad as >> but would you say that about the iPad as well?

There's a there's a learning curve. There's like things that learning curve. There's like things that learning curve. There's like things that still need to be worked out which still need to be worked out which still need to be worked out which surprises me given given this is like surprises me given given this is like surprises me given given this is like the seventh generation of these things.

  15. the seventh generation of these things. the seventh generation of these things. But like I said, I if you've um I'm just But like I said, I if you've um I'm just But like I said, I if you've um I'm just really really really astonished how well they've designed the astonished how well they've designed the astonished how well they've designed the device. And it's good because um the device. And it's good because um the device. And it's good because um the Chinese guys were doing some scary stuff Chinese guys were doing some scary stuff Chinese guys were doing some scary stuff last year at things that they announced last year at things that they announced last year at things that they announced there and um you know earlier this year there and um you know earlier this year there and um you know earlier this year when uh uh Huawei announced their when uh uh Huawei announced their when uh uh Huawei announced their trifold, right? So trifold, right? So trifold, right? So >> these things are um uh this category of >> these things are um uh this category of >> these things are um uh this category of devices is becoming important in that devices is becoming important in that devices is becoming important in that regard and I I'm less sold again on the regard and I I'm less sold again on the regard and I I'm less sold again on the screens, you know, being able to fold screens, you know, being able to fold screens, you know, being able to fold the device. the device. the device. I'm more um I'm looking more at like how I'm more um I'm looking more at like how I'm more um I'm looking more at like how it's driving new thinking in the it's driving new thinking in the it's driving new thinking in the engineering and the design of of these engineering and the design of of these engineering and the design of of these devices, right? in terms of um the devices, right? in terms of um the devices, right? in terms of um the constraints that these guys have to deal constraints that these guys have to deal constraints that these guys have to deal with, right? with, right? with, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> In order to make these devices work and >> In order to make these devices work and >> In order to make these devices work and and you know, I had a podcast where I I and you know, I had a podcast where I I and you know, I had a podcast where I I stated this is probably about the time stated this is probably about the time stated this is probably about the time where Apple needs to start thinking where Apple needs to start thinking where Apple needs to start thinking about these things. You know what I'm about these things. You know what I'm about these things. You know what I'm saying?

  16. saying? saying? >> Yeah. Where's Apple? >> Yeah. Where's Apple? >> Yeah. Where's Apple? >> Uh just because um the thinner designs >> Uh just because um the thinner designs >> Uh just because um the thinner designs are going to drive advanced engineering are going to drive advanced engineering are going to drive advanced engineering and uh Apple needs air. I think Apple's and uh Apple needs air. I think Apple's and uh Apple needs air. I think Apple's busy making uh oneoff awards for busy making uh oneoff awards for busy making uh oneoff awards for President Trump and for his man. President Trump and for his man.

You know, I'm a big fan of great industrial design and great fan of great industrial design and great fan of great industrial design and great engineering, and I think Samsung has engineering, and I think Samsung has engineering, and I think Samsung has knocked it out of the park with its knocked it out of the park with its knocked it out of the park with its industrial design. industrial design. industrial design. >> But the software, that's the thing is >> But the software, that's the thing is >> But the software, that's the thing is where that'll be. So, once Apple gets where that'll be. So, once Apple gets where that'll be. So, once Apple gets into it, I mean, I think thinking into it, I mean, I think thinking into it, I mean, I think thinking through that kind of software experience through that kind of software experience through that kind of software experience is is is >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> pretty critical. But the thing $2,000 >> pretty critical. But the thing $2,000 >> pretty critical. But the thing $2,000 price point, this is still an early price point, this is still an early price point, this is still an early adopter thing. And so, the people that adopter thing. And so, the people that adopter thing. And so, the people that are buying it are going to are buying it are going to are buying it are going to adapt. It would be the same people who adapt. It would be the same people who adapt. It would be the same people who buy the Vision Pro.

  17. >> No, maybe maybe not. I mean, I think >> No, maybe maybe not. I mean, I think there'll be a class of I, you know, there'll be a class of I, you know, there'll be a class of I, you know, smart, you know, iPhone users who really smart, you know, iPhone users who really smart, you know, iPhone users who really uh give this serious thought. uh give this serious thought. uh give this serious thought. >> Oh, yeah. No, I think if I if Apple came >> Oh, yeah. No, I think if I if Apple came >> Oh, yeah. No, I think if I if Apple came out with the with I think they'd get out with the with I think they'd get out with the with I think they'd get probably an order of magnitude more probably an order of magnitude more probably an order of magnitude more sales than Samsung. sales than Samsung. sales than Samsung. >> Yeah. Oh, they would they would they >> Yeah. Oh, they would they would they >> Yeah. Oh, they would they would they would accelerate the category. Um, and I would accelerate the category.
