I don't think their will be much interest in foldables until (and if) Apple decides to release one. And then...well...Apple will ship a polished enough product that it will sell.

And it really isn't "keeping up with the joneses" so much as "I'm not sure if that will be really useful" (until you see that it is actually really useful).

If Apple ships one, it'll be because they've finally managed to engineer one which isn't fragile, creased, and dust-collecting.

The platonic ideal of a foldable phone is exciting, but Android phone makers have been trying for years and the results are still a mess. I'm not holding my breath.
