- As usual, people will buy the iPhone cause it's the iPhone. I don't think Samsung will be stealing any customers as such.
- Samsung has done it again. They've been making foldable phones in a certain screen ratio and somehow this year they decided to change it to match the unreleased iPhone fold.

- Once the novelty wears off, folding and unfolding gets kind of annoying.
- I'm bitterly disappointed with the shape (aspect ratio) of that front screen, if the one on the iPhone Ultra is likely to be similar.
I got my hopes unrealistically high based on a single comment I saw somewhere here on HN, that if Apple already had a nice small screen lying around they might decide they may as well use it to make a small phone again.
I don't think there's much to be done with something that shape for the only screen on a phone.
After WWDC, I predict another flood of iPhone Mini battery replacements. Dozens!
- I still wish we had more phones that have eink screens in them.
I love the folding ones, but if only I had a folding eink screen, that would be glorious !
Or at least, something close.

- I saw a post on X.com that shows the Samsung's internal screen has the same size and aspect ratio of the iPad mini gens 1~5. Going to be such a slam dunk when Apple releases theirs.
- I was a bit skeptical on this form factor, but after watching a few reviews I think I'm convinced. The heart says yes, bank balance says definitely no.
I think with Apple's software optimization, it'll be a really solid device. The only thing I'd be missing are the Pro level cameras.
