There has always been snark but I swear it has been really excessive lately.

I'm not the market for it (I don't watch youtube, etc on phone), but I've seen some Samsung folds IRL and they are pretty amazing for video content.

This is a gorgeous design.

Its brutally expensive and probably doesn't fit in a pocket well.

Do you expect hn being an uncritical apple fanclub?

Beauty is subjective. That's not snark, that's reality. Nothing is "genuinely beautiful". You can't just call something beautiful and have everyone agree that it is in fact "beautiful". It's the most overused word in marketing.
