It takes the American company years to bring features that are on devices with iPhones and iPads to iPhones and iPads Androidem available for a long time. Fans usually react to this by saying Apple he puts off these upgrades simply because he wants them to be absolutely perfect. It is the same with regard to the question of folding devices. 

In the mobile industry, we have two main rivals – Samsung and Apple. The former is currently trying to make foldable devices a trend. And that's why he's subtly wooing Apple's customers, telling them to stop waiting just for Apple they actually jump on the jigsaw puzzle bandwagon and move to it (see ad below).

Ads can actually have the desired effect on some people because Galaxy The Z Flip certainly attracts quite a large audience thanks to its form factor. But some may resent the smug attitude of Samsung, which claims to make and sell more foldable devices than anyone else, even though it has virtually no competition, even though it no doubt knows full well that folding devices will probably only really take off after they speak to the segment itself Apple.

Brand power Apple is indisputable 

It's actually simple: Due to the influence and power of the American brand, developers and manufacturers (for example, those who make accessories for phones) simply cannot ignore it. For example, app developers also always try to add new system features to their titles as quickly as possible so that the user always has the best possible experience. More important than the software, however, is the company's hardware Apple.

Contrasted with the opening words when Apple until long after Androidu accepts certain elements, there is also the other side of the coin, when on the other hand it is extremely innovative and with certain steps it really comes first, even if it may not be taken positively from the beginning. Just Apple however, it can afford to introduce them, with other companies subsequently adopting them. We are talking about the removal of the 3,5mm jack connector, as well as the absence of a charger in the phone's packaging. 

Coming back to the software side of things, can you tell me about any revolutionary feature of Samsung's foldable phone, other than Flex mode and its related options? Sure, at least with the Fold you get a bigger screen and there's S Pen support, with the Flip it's a smaller body, but have third-party app developers taken advantage of the bigger foldable display?

Waiting too long 

From what we can currently see, only Samsung and possibly Google are trying, the developers are coughing on it. But once the “collapsible iPhone”, the situation will change. Developers will want to customize their apps to fit on this "iFold" or whatever Apple decides to name their device, they worked better, only then will these features begin to be carried over to the pro versions of the same apps Android. Samsung alone simply cannot push developers and other manufacturers to embrace the concept of a foldable phone. Paradoxically, he himself needs Apple's help.

As in many other market segments, it has only Apple such reach and popularity that the company's as-yet-unveiled foldable device is far more interesting to the customer than the current one from Samsung or another device manufacturer with the Android. As technology enthusiasts, of course we hope for Samsung's success, on the other hand, we're keeping our fingers crossed that Apple doesn't delay the launch of the foldable phone too much. It will help us too.
