How display of iPhone Duo is different from that of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8
Apple is entering the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo, following years of market development by Samsung. The article compares the display technologies of the two devices, noting that Apple has benefited from the industry's previous lessons regarding screen durability and hinge mechanics.

Apple is finally jumping into the foldable phone game with the iPhone Duo, nearly 8 years after Samsung first brought folding smartphones to the world.

The early foldables had visible fold lines, fragile screens and design compromises that made them feel more like a proof of concept than something built for real life.
