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

It didn't say it was apple users switching. It was selling well and sales went up since the announcement of duo. 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.

🤔 This article makes me want to buy a Fold from Samsung or Pixel 👑.

If it's true that 🍎 has developed this first foldable for the last 15 years, it should be on the same level with it's each direct competitor. But is it? Seems that the fruit garden is still pretty careful with the production amounts. Has Sammy said it's word on the display side?

bro is completely locked in 😂 of course, it's a normal reaction to  🍎 presenting its phone. some held back to see what  🍎 offers, some simply became aware of the new formfactor due to all the fuzz. also, the Fold 8 suddenly doesn't look that expensive anymore. but that doesn't mean apple will do bad against the Fold 8. which is not what you said!

So we have a bunch of people who probably wanted the Fold 8, especially in the Apple camp. But they wanted to wait to see what Apple had in store.


Rightnoff thr bat mist texh reviewers are saying the Fold 8 is better. Better cameras, better .multitasking, plays nice with Windows.


It is a nice device. I just feel I would be giving up too much to ever consider it. I use my S-Pan alot. Then I work in a field where I would need a very heavy thick case.


I already played with the Fold 7. It is cool. It just doesn't excite me.


A tablet is better. Not a phone pretending to be one.

The article states, the device was already selling well. However, orders increased after Apple released their device.


Which means as was told you you, some people were waiting to see and now tbey are making a decision. Before I bought my S25U, I was eyeing thr iPhone 15. But it turned ou to.not be good and ao I bought an S22U and then traded up to the S25U, because I didn't like the S24U.

Both company's sales are swayed by what they otyer may ot may not be doing.

When Samsung phones got bigger screens, they sold even .ore devices. Apple didn't sell to many more, until the iPhone 6.

Yes I agree it is selling well on its own merits. But your claim thst the in t ease in sales all of a sudden have nothing to do with Apple release is pure stupidity.

I live proving dummies wrong. Samsung and Apple products have always effected each other sales. You have to be totally branded to say otherwise.
