Welcome to the Tech Meme Ride Home for Thursday, November 14th, 2019. I'm Brian McCullough.

Today there's a new razor phone with a foldable screen that might actually work. That Apple Prime

bundle might be coming sooner than we thought. That Apple Research App is here

right now. Why did one password raise a bunch of money for the first time ever and can

Netflix use Nickelodeon to fend off Disney? Here's what you miss today in the world of

tech. The razor is back, baby. At an event last night in Los Angeles, Motorola

announced the new razor phone with a 6.2 inch touch screen display launching on Verizon only in the

U.S. in January.

But of course the razor was an iconic clamshell phone from the early ats. So this new device

folds into a clamshell as well. Click through in the show notes to see the

pictures. Opened up, this thing looks like, you know, your average smartphone slab of glass,

runs Android, etc.

But close it up and it looks almost exactly like the razor of yore. Same prominent

chin, same thickness actually when closed. The only difference when closed is that now there is a 2.7 inch

o-led display on the back or the top or the outer shell, whatever you want to call it,

that will show you notifications, handle music controls, etc.

Now of course other foldable phones this year have had issues.

The 21 by 9 screen on the new razor when unfolded is actually a plastic

O-Ed panel.

Motorola swears this thing is durable.

These are quotes from the company.

They have, quote, full confidence in the durability of the flex view display
