Samsung has already done the heavy lifting and set the foldable iPhone up for success
When Apple finally introduces its first foldable iPhone next year, it will be entering a product category that is already well established. Unlike past launches where Apple defined a new market, the foldable phone segment has been built and refined over time—mainly by Samsung. For the past seven years, Samsung has steadily improved its Galaxy Z Fold series. It tackled major design challenges, improved hinge technology, and helped shift foldables from a niche concept to a more practical option. Its latest device, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is already being viewed as the first model to have genuine mainstream appeal, with improved ergonomics and build quality. Now, Apple is preparing to release its own foldable that reportedly uses a similar book-style form factor. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the device will even include Samsung-sourced OLED foldable displays. That means Samsung's component business will likely play a role in the iPhone's launch—even as the two companies continue to compete at the top of the smartphone market. The Z Fold 7's sales are outpacing the prior generation to a significant degree, according to reporting by Gurman. | Image credit — PhoneArena This situation is unusual for Apple. In the past, the company often arrived early and redefined product categories, such as with the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. This time, the groundwork has already been laid, and Apple's role will be to refine rather than refinement may still matter. Gurman notes that Apple is working to minimize the display crease and improve the feel of the hinge. And since iPhone users have never had a foldable option within Apple's ecosystem, there's a strong chance the company's first model will attract buyers who were interested in the format but didn't want to switch to also seems to be launching this device at a moment when foldables are gaining momentum in important markets like China. Brands like Huawei and Xiaomi have already introduced several foldables, and consumers there have shown strong interest in the book-style design Apple is pursuing. With the iPhone's reputation in China under pressure, a foldable iPhone could be part of a larger strategy to reengage users in the region. It's expected that the device will carry a high price tag, potentially starting around $2,000. That gives Apple room to increase average selling prices and generate more revenue per device, even if total units remain Samsung's long-term investment in foldables may now benefit Apple directly. But this could also boost the entire category, drawing attention from new users and raising interest across both Android and iOS camps. I like to keep a healthy balance of using all types of mobile devices — Android slabs, foldables, an iPhone, and an iPad — and I am most definitely in the camp of users that will be in line to purchase Apple's first foldable. I know that the form factor won't be revolutionary, but I am absolutely curious to see what the company tailors iOS for it. The industry needs a shakup like that to give us all something to talk about. Switch to a 2-month Total 5G or 5G+ plan with Total Wireless and score this foldable deal.

Weekly poll results: Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are great but pricey, Z Flip7 FE is a miss
Last week's poll pinpointed price as the primary concern when people consider the new Galaxy Z foldables. They may have gotten slimmer, they may have gotten lighter, but they did not become cheaper. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 proved to be quite popular, though the people who are interested are split into two camps – those who can justify its price tag and those who can't. And the latter is a slightly bigger group. Some are not happy with the hardware – the complaints mainly focused on the battery capacity and to an extent the charging speed – but that was a relatively small group. Then there are those who think there are better foldables available – that topic is strongly region-dependent, though, as some markets have much less variety than others. This applies to the Flips as well. The upgraded Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 was also quite popular. Among those interested, we see a similar nearly even split on the topic of price – however, this time opinions weighed in favor of 'the price is right'. There was a big discussion in the comments over whether horizontal or flip foldables are better – but we'll leave that as a topic for a future poll. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE was supposed to be the answer to those looking for a cheaper flip. And while it is cheaper than the Z Flip7, price doesn't exist in a vacuum – a lot of people don't think that the FE hardware is worth it. And with that, the majority believe they can get better value for money with other flip foldables. We are working on detailed reviews for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. In the meantime, you can check out our hands-on review with both models. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G
