Discussion - I'd pick the iPhone Ultra over the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in a heartbeat if Apple delivers this killer feature

The reliability of both brands means it's down to preference. If you have the money to for both go for it. Having a pencil will be cool for those who do a lot more fine tuning and take notes but I'd suggest people just buy an iPad in addition. The Apple fold doesn't look big enough to accommodate any pen inputs and the size of the pen might have to change significantly to match the smaller size screen this means it might not be included and may have to be sold separately. Housing the pen might provide an extra way to protect the screen from accidental falls but I'd advice Apple to sell it separately as a user preference rather than spending so much to alter the look to accommodate it. Learn from Samsung easier to fit, comfortable to hold and backed by world class software that doesn't hurt to handle.

Another boring senseless article from Phonearena 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

Have there ever been more comparison articles written about a vaporware phone in the history of phones?

How, will you protect an, already soft screen (mohs hardness of 2) from damage using a, stylus?

I don't think there were this many articles about the iPhone before it was announced. Phone Arenas' level of glaze about this phone is uncanny.

I am not disagreeing with you, morehousemula, but I think you need to pull back also and look at the bigger picture as well. If I would switch from android to apple, I would have to replace pretty much my entire smarthome, cameras, switches, plugs, doorlocks. NOT a minor undertaking. Plus, my family is all android, so all of what they use in the smarthome would stop functioning.

Not happening

I can picture Aman and iShill Tuga waiting outside the Apple Store like puppies waiting for a treat. 🙄 Kinda hard to pick something that isn't even out yet.

Any bets on which PA writer will write the same story for the third time tomorrow?

The Galaxy Fold series used a specific S-Pen to avoid damaging the display, I'm sure Apple could do something similar. My Razr Fold uses an active stylus that doesn't damage either of the displays, I'm sure that Apple could do something similar. The OnePlus Open I used to have used the Oppo Pen and it too didn't damage either of the displays, I'm sure Apple could do something similar. Both the Razr and the OnePlus housed the stylii in charging silos to avoid interfering with the phones. I'm sure Apple could do something similar.

In short, I'm sure Apple could do something similar to the competition, they always find a way sooner or later.

Well they gonna sell it separately anyway, like the other one if they even make one.
