My concern for Apple is, the longer iPhone users choose to keep their devices, the more reason they have to consider other options. Also, a user who usually keeps a device for years doesn't feel trapped enough to upgrade to a new iPhone. They just use it for what is. If one of these Samsung phones fancy their eyes and needs, they just might make the move.
Got a tip for us?

Samsung Launches New Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 Smartphones

Never once had an issue with durability on my Motorola Razr flip phones. They lasted for many years. Those had a hinge though.
My aunt bought a basic Samsung Galaxy A13 recently, which FORCED (no option to opt out) the install of the 'essential' app during setup...TikTok!
If that is typical Samsung I'll stick with Apple thanks!

What's the difference between being forced into an eco-system by Apple or being forced into an eco-system by Samsung?
Edit:
You also seem misinformed. See the next link from Samsung:

You can simply remove essentials by dragging it to the recycle bin. So it seems you can opt-out.

I’ve always loved Moto phones. Doesn’t surprise me it held up
Alright place your bets folks at how long it'll take before they'll break. My money is on two months.
The Flip and Fold are “slightly” refined but the flip has a bigger battery. That’s it according to MKBHD. The Galaxy 5 also had a battery 30% bigger than the Flip. So what’s with that? That’s hardly crushing it. The screens are almost identical and the under screen selfie in the fold is as bad as last years. Crushing it 😂😂
I reckon I’ll wait until it gets done right with Apple if they decide it’s worth the investment to do it. If they don’t it’s because it’s still not up to standard. Which it’s clearly not at this stage. They can let Samsung keep crushing the overpriced niche market on double thickness phones.
I never said that , but also buyer beware. hence why I never bought one

Yes, they do. This is one of their main recent goals.
Samsung Promises 'At Least Four Years' of Security Software Updates for Recent Galaxy Devices
In what could be seen as an attempt to catch up to Apple's legacy software support for older iOS devices, Samsung is now promising Galaxy users...

These are the first appealing phones I've ever seen from Samsung. I don't trust the durability, though. And then there's the problem of having to use Android.
With AirMessage's recent ability to incorporate FaceTime, I may give this one a shot until iPhone comes out with something a bit more innovative hardware wise.
LoL, that clip again.
Anyway the probability for you to lose such a bet is 100%.
Of course, what kind of question is that?
Korean food, yes.
Korean girls, yes.
K-pop, yes.
Korean martial arts, yes.
Korean phones…
Up until Apple releases a foldable phone then it will be the "greatest Apple device ever"
Refinement is good only when apple does it. Got it.
Or better yet apple is so far behind that the are unable to make a competitive foldable smartphone vs Samsung anymore so they decide to stay away.
iPhone's phablet candy bar form is looking a little long in the tooth.
theyre already on their fourth generation foldable? geeez

The Z Flip 3 got the line in 2 months...
Getting the Flip 4, my Flip 3 is in mint condition. Not a single issue. Love this form factor. Truly feel sad for blind followers of any brand, that prevents them from buying industry leading innovation.
Apple needs to shake it up. The iPhone is boooorrrrriiiinggg. I'd love to see a fold iPhone.
