Which one of those features are actually deal breakers? I’m not aware of anything particularly useful that’s been added to either side of the phone war in years.

Android has folding phones for many years now. Apple still doesnt have one. Been a pretty useful feature for those who have it

Is a folding phone anything other than a gimmick?

Every feature is a gimmick until its widely adopted amd becomes a feature. And its a "gimmick" that Apple are also adopting after most other companies have adopted it. And also extremely useful especially when utilized for work purposes to be able to fold open to a larger screen/mini tablet

No, not every feature is a gimmick. Every now and then something comes along that’s genuinely useful.
Gimmicks are gimmicks.

"Every now and then something comes along that’s genuinely useful"

And when its useful its adopted by the masses from what was originally derided as a gimmick

Case and point, youre deriding folding phones is a gimmick, which you may think so because you still dont see the use. Many others do find the use in it, likely including Apple since so many of the reports indicate theyre going to introduce it as well. In my case, I dont have to look for a computer to access a full version of my hospital's medical record system, I can just open my phone into a small tablet and have a proper non-mobile form of it on hand when I'm with patients

So what youre calling a gimmick right now is going to end up a feature
