Apple's ultra-thin iPhone flops as foldable iPad hits a crease

What

Murena boss says customers about to wake up from its cloud storage nightmare

I dunno

I want to like them, but I have a bad feeling about Murena. /e/os feels like a fake phone UI from a Netflix series. Also this is an insane amount of time to go down for
