I’m now sure the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has already wiped the floor with the foldable iPhone
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and a higher-end Z Fold 8 Ultra. The standard Fold 8 is described as a thinner foldable device. User reports suggest the screen crease is not a significant issue, though some users recommend adjusting camera settings to achieve optimal results. While the Fold 8 series is now in the hands of reviewers and consumers, Apple has not provided specifications or a release date for its own foldable iPhone, leaving Samsung as the primary competitor in the current high-end foldable market.
