1 year agoI don’t think I am going to want a folding phone for a very long time. An e-ink display on the back of a phone for reading, or displaying static content, would be cool though. It would be nice to have recipes on an always on display, same with shopping lists, and some other reference materials.
It looks like at least one company made a prototype of such a thing back in 2013: https://techcrunch.com/2013/01/10/the-yotaphone-has-an-e-ink-display-on-the-back-and-thats-simply-awesome/
I don’t know why e-ink never seems to take off outside of e-readers, maybe it’s just still too expensive?
It took a few tries for me to get here, but I was able to sub from a kbin instance just now
