Fold 8 Struggles to Compete as Apple Readies iPhone Fold

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is criticized for trade-offs (no S Pen, no Privacy Display, higher production costs due to more materials and a DRAM shortage/BBOE OLED switch, and a persistently visible crease). Apple’s upcoming iPhone Fold is expected to push a new benchmark with a liquid metal hinge, Ultra-Thin Glass, a large 5,800 mAh battery, and a book-style form factor, potentially dominating the US market. Samsung’s alternative Wide Fold could remain competitive only if it minimizes compromises.

Apple’s Device Convergence Could Silently Fade the iPad

Macworld argues Apple’s strategy is merging iPad and MacBook features through hardware and software — from M-series chips and touch-enabled laptops to iPadOS 26 and a forthcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro — with the new MacBook Neo at $599 aimed at students. If this convergence continues, the iPad could become less distinct or increasingly sidelined as desktops-on-mobile features blur the line between tablets and laptops, though a rapid end isn’t expected and Apple would likely roll out changes over multiple generations.

Foldable iPhone Ultra Leaks: Book-style design teased with big iPad-like inner display

Rumors and dummy models of Apple’s anticipated foldable iPhone, reportedly called iPhone Ultra, show a book-style device with a 4:3 inner display that could be about 7.8 inches open and ~5.5 inches closed. The outer screen is expected around 5.3 inches. Comparisons with the iPhone 17 Pro Max suggest a taller, immersive 16:9 viewing experience, with a thick camera bump and a two-lens system. Features/spec changes under discussion include no Face ID due to space, a Touch ID–integrated power button, and a dedicated Camera Control button. Current leaks place the device at roughly 11mm thick when closed (with some rumors claiming 9–9.5mm) and point to a September launch alongside iPhone 18 Pro models, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman noting a price crossing $2,000 in the U.S.

Foldable iPhone's side camera button stirs folding-first debate

An opinion piece argues Apple’s rumored side camera control button on the iPhone Fold (aka iPhone Ultra) is unnecessary for a foldable, since buyers care more about the big display, multitasking, and durability than camera hardware. The article stresses that foldables need a reliable hinge, solid battery life, and a minimal crease, plus iOS optimization for a folding layout. It notes competition like Oppo’s Find N6 showing creases can exist and urges Apple to prioritize foldability over camera features.

iPhone Fold Edges Ahead: Leaks Sketch a Wider, Pocket-Friendly Apple Versus Galaxy Z Fold 8

New leaks contrast Apple's upcoming iPhone Fold with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8: the iPhone Fold is said to have a wider, rounder design with two rear cameras and top-edge volume controls (running iOS), while the Z Fold 8 reportedly uses sharper corners and a three-camera rear setup (Android); a Fold Wide variant is rumored to align with the iPhone Fold’s dimensions. Pocketability could be Apple’s edge, with Bloomberg’s Gurman signaling a 2026 launch for the iPhone Fold and a mid-2026 reveal for Samsung’s Fold line.

A leaker (Majin Bu) posted images claiming to show the iPhone Fold’s final design, aligning with rumors of a wider body and a 7.8-inch main foldable display plus a 5.5-inch cover display, a crease-free panel, and a camera bar inspired by the iPhone Air.

Ultra-thin iPhone Fold leaks hint at book-style design and MagSafe mystery

Leaked iPhone Ultra/Fold dummy units suggest a 4.5mm-thin, book-style foldable with a 7.8-inch display and an A20 Pro chip, targeted for late-2026. However, dummies lack visible MagSafe magnets while some third-party cases include magnets, implying Apple might offload MagSafe to the case or keep magnets internal in the final design.
