Deciding on buying one

I currently have an iPhone 13 and my friend just bought a pixel 9 pro fold. I recently finished paying off my phone so I’m looking to trade it in for a new phone. I know the pixel 9 pro is supposed to be a better phone but a folding phone brings a new kind of excitement I haven’t felt for a phone in a long time. I have seen many people have had problems and I should probably buy a warranty if I get one, but my question is: is this phone worth it?
