The company's final hardware commitment to update the Wing to Android 13 highlights a dedication to software support that contrasts sharply with the industry's current fragmentation. As foldable phones become mainstream, LG's potential contributions remain speculative, but its history of pushing boundaries serves as a reminder of what's lost when a major player abandons hardware innovation. This anniversary underscores the enduring impact of LG's bold experiments, even as its phones fade from memory.
