It might be hard to believe, but foldable phones have already been around for the better part of a decade. Granted, the first one I saw back in 2019 — which actually predates Samsung’s Galaxy Fold — was a cobbled-together mess. But since then, phone makers have been steadily iterating and tweaking their designs, and this year, manufacturers have finally addressed all the major issues about foldable phones except one: price.Let’s go back to the OG Fold. Even though it was chunky and heavy, had a tiny exterior display and suffered from a hinge that let too much detritus inside…

The response was clear. “Hey so this isn’t funny,” wrote one person. “Whoever made this should be investigated.”It’s easy to see why the video elicited such a strong reaction. The fake commercial opens with a photorealistic young girl holding a toy—pink, sparkling, a bumblebee adorning the handle. It’s a pen, we are told, as the girl…
