Other Samsung Trifold, while Apple still can't do twofold

[michsu]

I'm not Korean, but you can take about the middle of the video. They have someone opening and closing the Samsung tri fold. They are saying it will be released in South Korea and UAE first around February 2026?

I'm interested in getting the iFold, but it looks like it can't compare with Samsung or Huawei's one. Unfortunately, most of us in the United States using Apple can't get out of the Apple ecosystem (and they know it too, and won't allow international companies to come in and compete).

Ugh.

Point 1. I do not want a fold. I do not have a desire for one, never have and probably never will. My lifestyle in the past and in the present allows me the freedom to NOT have a foldable and my lifestyle in the future will probably continue to allow me to NOT have a foldable.

I might consider a foldable if someone is willing to PAY ME to have one, but certainly not in exclusion to my real phone.

Point 2. No one is 'stuck' in the ecosystem. They just CHOOSE to be there. Whether that choice was made years ago or recently, it was a choice. Changing your mind can be costly and difficult and you may CHOOSE to not change your mind. But that is still a choice.

I choose to use third party services. A choice I made years ago. Because Apple allows you to choose the services you want to use (or not use) on their devices.

I don't think the right phrasing is that Apple "can't" do it, it's more accurate to say that they're not currently doing it. Whether this even stays a desirable form factor for years to come is still unknown.

How can you say it can't compare with the phone in the video? We still don't even know what Apple's folding phone is going to look like...

I’m glad apple is avoiding such a gimmick for the time being…

Hehe I think the way it folds up is insane. Especially when they call these things "Galaxy Z Fold" right? It should fold like a Z! But the way it folds is probably easier on the inner screen.

What happened to the scroll out screens they said we would have soon, like five years ago

I have no desire for a fold anything.
