Is it called Apple iPhone Duo or Huawei Pura X Max? Difficult to tell. Apple did a huge effort at copying Huawei.

I can definitely relate to this, as my own Galaxy Z Fold 8 order through AT&T has been delayed twice already. Samsung clearly nailed this release; it seems like many potential buyers were waiting to see what Apple and Xiaomi would bring to the table, and once those announcements dropped, they decided to pull the trigger on the Fold 8 instead. Being skeptical at first, the Fold 8 has also grown on me from all the positive feedback it has received and its great looks.

I have a serious question, no jokes: how can you write this article if the iPhone pre-orders aren't live yet? How can you write this when one device is still not available for pre-ordering?

This is what I mean about fan girls how is this article correct if the Apple device is still not available to pre order ? You sound stupid dude for real.

Did you actually read the article? It explains that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales increased after the Apple iPhone Duo announcement. This suggests that many consumers were simply waiting to see what Apple would offer before making their final decision, and upon seeing the competition, they chose to stick with the Samsung device—which is a completely logical consumer behavior.

Ok, let's see...Apple's FIRST generation folding phone, or Samsung's EIGHTH generation of a folding phone. Both pretty much have the same display since Samsung make the display for BOTH phones.

Yeah, I'd go with the Samsung version versus the Apple until the Apple version has 2-3 generations to catch up.

Samsung sales have gone up since the duo announcement. What are you not understanding?

The device is selling well on its own merits, and I am convinced it has nothing to do with Apple. This feels like typical fan-girl behavior, and these types of articles are clearly just clickbait.

Think about it—do you really believe Apple users will impulsively switch to an Android foldable just because they were unimpressed by the iPhone Duo? It’s unrealistic to assume that; most would simply stick to the Apple ecosystem and opt for the iPhone 18 Pro Max instead.

The fold 8 sold like crazy regardless because its what samsung user actually wanted instead of the fold 8 ultra you can thank apple for that one also. I believe if apple waited another year there would be no regular fold 8 only the ultra
