Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to arrive in September, while a rival device is already outrunning its own forecasts.
Samsung is reportedly building an extra one million Galaxy Z Fold 8 units after the 4:3 device took 70 percent of a record 1.44 million Galaxy Z8 series pre-orders.
Apple’s foldable display — which is made by Samsung — is rumored to use the same 4:3 aspect ratio and the same book-style form factor as the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
Foldable iPhone design and Samsung’s role
The Galaxy Z Fold 8’s strong pre-order performance and the reported production increase underline current market momentum for 4:3, book-style foldables, a design that Apple’s own foldable is said to adopt. Apple is expected to bring its device to market in September, with its display supplied by Samsung and rumored to mirror the rival’s aspect ratio and form factor.
