@Phonenurd Samsung: “Just ignore the crease.” 💀
Apple: “We engineered it out.” 🤯
That’s the difference between making a foldable and engineering one. 🫡
@MajinBuofficia Exactly. You can engineer the crease to be less visible, but you can’t engineer away physics. Fold it enough times and the screen will always show some evidence of that bend. The real flex is making it barely noticeable. 😭
@prasenx The AI bubble is getting its own reality You spend hours tracking every model, update, and benchmark, then step outside and realize most people haven’t even heard of half of it. The gap is wild.
@Cartidise Exactly. The Duo’s animation feels so seamless because it treats the fold as an extension of the same display experience, rather than switching to a completely different UI. That’s a much smarter approach to foldable software.
@MajinBuofficia The nano-texture looks like a trade-off—less glare and a less noticeable crease, but potentially softer-looking content. Apple really had to balance clarity, reflections, and the foldable display’s crease.
@MajinBuofficia Apple really said “let’s take the best design elements from different eras and mash them into one iPhone.” 😂
If they actually pull this off, the iPhone Ultra could be one of Apple’s most interesting designs in years.
@itsdurreadan Honestly, same. Apple entering foldables feels like one of those things we’d have laughed at a few years ago. They may be late, but if anyone can turn a niche category into something mainstream, it’s Apple. 👀
@MajinBuofficia Apple really seems to be treating foldables as a long-term platform, not a one-off product. Duo 2 getting Face ID + a third 48MP telephoto would be a serious upgrade. 👀
@sondesix The symmetry is honestly what makes the Fold8 look so clean. It feels more like a normal phone that happens to open up rather than a weird foldable. 👌📱
@iAbout_Tech Apple really said even the logo needs a redesign At this point they’re moving every tiny detail around just to make the 18 Pro feel different. 🍎
@TheApplePixels Honestly, I think it’s both People are definitely tired of the same slab design every year, and Apple finally dropped something that actually feels different. The hype was inevitable. 👀🍎
@TheAppleDesign That’s the thing. Apple didn’t need to be first, they just needed to make people care about foldables. Now the whole category is going to be judged against the iPhone Duo 👀
@itsdurreadan I get what you mean, but I think Apple is intentionally taking the slow approach here. They’re probably testing the smaller Island before eventually going completely under-display 👀
