Meanwhile my dad can't get enough of his Zflip or whatever the smaller one is. Even with the screen starting to wear in the middle, it's lasted longer than his other phones because the folding means it doesn't get banged around.

Same goes with mentions of physical keyboards, all I get is flashbacks of my dad angry that his sausage fingers (tilesetter) can't hit the buttons before touchscreen keyboards with bigger buttons hit.
