Well, it's just common sense to treat others the same way you expect them to treat you. In a perfect more pleasant world neither the west or china would feel the need to spy on each other, but we are where we are.

(almost) fully agree. However, I think people are just waiting for the next "game changer" since it's been quite long since the "smartphone" was launched... and as you say, foldables obviolsy didn't fill that desire. Computers, on the other hand, has seen some quite big improvements lately. Mainly with small, energy efficient chips (like the m1, m2...) so there is hope for a not so stagnant market with only marginal gains.
