Yeah this is a concern as well. That’s the other thing keeping me from upgrading. The advantages of newer models are only slight compared to this phone which works perfectly fine. The longer I wait, the better the tech becomes. Eventually it’ll reach a point where upgrading makes sense, but it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be this year or even next.

I’ve had two folding phones work for over two years without any delamination or other issues - I only replaced the first one because I dropped it and shattered a corner of the outer screen. Inner screen was in perfect condition still.
I can understand the hesitation but if you can get a good deal on one they’re way better now than they were at the beginning.
