I saw a post on X.com that shows the Samsung's internal screen has the same size and aspect ratio of the iPad mini gens 1~5. Going to be such a slam dunk when Apple releases theirs.

Re: Samsung reveals Galaxy Z Fold 8 that will compete with the iPhone Ultra
#12I got my hopes unrealistically high based on a single comment I saw somewhere here on HN, that if Apple already had a nice small screen lying around they might decide they may as well use it to make a small phone again.
I don't think there's much to be done with something that shape for the only screen on a phone.
After WWDC, I predict another flood of iPhone Mini battery replacements. Dozens!

#13I love the folding ones, but if only I had a folding eink screen, that would be glorious !
Or at least, something close.

#14Once the novelty wears off, folding and unfolding gets kind of annoying.

#15As usual, people will buy the iPhone cause it's the iPhone. I don't think Samsung will be stealing any customers as such.
The Samsung Galaxy S (the top range) sells between 25 to 35 million units per year. Sure, it's not iPhones number, which are around 8 to 9 times higher but Samsung has to compete in a huge Android ecosystem, whereas the iOS one has only one offering series per year. The Galaxy S has always been a very solid product line.

That was not their claim. Those with iPhones will continue to buy iPhones while most Galaxy users have always been Android users.
I had one from work. Sucks more than Android.

#18Samsung has done it again. They've been making foldable phones in a certain screen ratio and somehow this year they decided to change it to match the unreleased iPhone fold.
