Unsure. I can only go off anecdotes and what ive been told but maybe that illusion works on the kids?

At 3:50 it looks like the phone is being opened to watch something. . Looks large to me

The tech specs here

Anyways, that was his reasoning. Lol its still a nice phone. Maybe he used same justification to get this nicer phone with his wife. He has the Google fold while the other guy has Samsung.

I know a few people at work that have foldables. Both are not going back and the crease really isnt noticeable.

One guy has the Google Pixel Fold. His kids share his phone to leave his wife's phone alone when they are watching something. It makes it easier to share with his kids because its a larger screen. When it was smaller they fought more because they couldn't all watch on a small screen. Hes reaping benefits too. Ive seen him have it open to watch NFL highlights lol.

The other person I know is a manager and its just really nice.

I don't have one myself because its pretty $$$. If I valued phones I would pick one up myself. Year after year they have gotten significantly better with the crease and hardware. They're often very beast with hardware features.

Question, what separate device is best and most privacy focused? I just imagine getting a firestick, google Chromecast, etc would also give away data?

I honestly loved Elemental and Encanto. Coco also solid but would be my third fav of the ones you listed.

Ah hoy! Just did a quick search. Seems the quality has significantly increased there too!

Thank you! I remember my local library had dvds. I don't remember any BluRays. Will check it out!!

Understood. I honestly don't know many alternatives to Redbox besides those for renting movies... Even then, as others have mentioned, there's a difference between streaming and playing a blu ray. All movies I rent are <$2.50 from Redbox, nicer quality vs. >$5 Amazon.

Personally a little sad over this. Have a bluray player and sometimes I want to be able to choose and pick a newer movie in 4k... Much cheaper than Amazon and Vudu to rent.

I def think Arrowhead had some shared responsibility for it. Going into a contract with Sony, they must have known the PSN account was a requirement but no one on either side mentioned it until it was going to be implemented.

If PSN was required from beginning, it should have been enforced/limited to specific countries. If it had "technical issues", maybe they should have fixed it much sooner than 6 months.
