Power user: folding iPhone changed how I use a phone — prompts closed, reading open, less doomscrolling

A heavy AI user reviews the folding iPhone, arguing the form factor fundamentally changed how he uses a phone:
- Closed: better for texting and sending AI prompts, fits better in hand;
- Open: documentaries on the go, great multitasking for creators, and a comfortable reading format;
- He'd barely read books since going all-in on AI in 2023 (uploading them to ChatGPT instead); now he reads again and doomscrolls far less;
- Reading well-written books also made him realize "AI sucks at writing" after three years of training his brain on AI outputs.
Cons: mediocre camera, battery on par with his iPhone 17 Pro, and he recommends enabling the one-handed keyboard.
