Newer phones abandoned physical key. That's their demise and able to fold won't save them.

Glad to see mentions to Peter Watts. His view of humanity is dry and take on real world is even grimmer, but it's intriguing and backed by science. Also I'm the one of people dying to know what he said at the end of his lecture.
