Samsung gets ‘Tim Cook’ to praise the Galaxy Z Fold 8

Samsung just trolled Apple with a "Tim Cook" Galaxy Z Fold 8 promo. Samsung gets ‘Tim Cook’ to praise the Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Come on Apple, just keep following in the footsteps of Samsung, ASUS and so many other foldable makers. Where should Apple go after the iPhone Duo? Bring on smaller and larger foldables.

Bring on smaller and larger foldables Yes, it really just needs to copy Samsung, ASUS and others. And on a broader level, it also shows that Apple isn’t too proud to follow in the footsteps of Samsung and other Android phone makers.

If that’s the case, I’m hoping Apple also isn’t afraid to copy Samsung’s smaller Z Flip phones, which flip down horizontally, and larger devices like Lenovo’s X1 Fold and ASUS’s ZenBook Fold 17. An "iPhone Flip" could potentially satisfy people demanding a new iPhone Mini, and a future foldable iPad Pro could truly differentiate that tablet from the increasingly capable iPad Air.

Now that Apple has shown it can develop ultra-thin device connected by a sturdy hinge, it should be easier for the company to scale its designs smaller and larger. After all, it took Apple nearly seven years to finally respond to the Galaxy Z Fold (which, admittedly, was practically a beta product for its first few generations).

What better way for Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, to follow up the iPhone Duo’s debut than with a smaller iPhone Flip next year.
