Apple's iPhone Duo matches Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 specs in first foldable showdown
↗
Apple's first foldable, the passport-style iPhone Duo, goes spec-for-spec against Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, with both sharing a 7.6-inch inner display and titanium reinforcement.
Samsung manufactures the folding OLED panels used in the iPhone Duo, meaning Apple's entry into foldables depends on its primary competitor's supply chain.
