Apple is famously late to all sorts of product categories. Remember MP3 players like the Creative Nomad before the iPod? Smartphones like the BlackBerry before the iPhone? Tablet PCs before the iPad?<\/p>\n

Apple sometimes takes several years before it decides to enter the market, and history looks to be repeating itself with the iPhone Fold, which could be called the iPhone Ultra. Yet Samsung and others have been making foldable phones since 2019 \u2014 this summer will see the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 8.<\/p>\n

So you would think that Samsung would handily beat Apple at creating the best foldable phone given all of the experience under its belt. After all, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in particular was a leap forward in terms of its super thin and light design. But the iPhone Fold could blow away the Galaxy Z Fold 8 on Apple\u2019s very first try. Here\u2019s 5 reasons why.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest complaints about book-style foldable phones is that the display has a visible crease when unfolded, but Apple could be solving that issue with the iPhone Fold \u2014 ironically with Samsung\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

According to reporting by Bloomberg and others, Apple has opted for new display technology that reduces the crease without eliminating it entirely. The panel will reportedly be supplied by Samsung. We may have gotten a sneak peak at this CES 2026 with Samsung\u2019s Mont Flex display prototype, but there\u2019s some debate as to how quickly it\u2019s coming to market.<\/p>\n

The iPhone Fold is said to feature a passport-style design with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The internal 7.8-inch widescreen will minimize the black bars that usually sit above and below the display when watching video. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, for example, has a nearly square 8-inch internal display.<\/p>\n
