"Galaxy Z Fold8 with a crease-free display: Samsung appears well prepared for Apple's iPhone Fold launch"

So hidden in that headline are a number of genuinely odd biases. Samsung has been making folding phones for eight years. In fact, they were one of the first and are considered the market leader. Apple has exactly zero folding phones. Moreover, Apple gets their display tech from Samsung.

Samsung currently is the top maker of cellphones with Apple in the #2 slot.

Yet this headline is phrased in a way that suggests that Samsung has reason to fear Apple's putative folding iPhone launch - which at the moment isn't even an actual thing, when in reality, it's Apple that has to prove its worth in this market not actually ever having had a product in it before.

Apple tends to wait until everyone else has worked out all the bugs and problems with new tech, then finally launch their own knowing that the tech press will went themselves over it regardless of how good or bad it is (see Apple Vision Pro).

Perhaps a less biased and more accurate headline would have been: "Galaxy Z Fold8 with a crease-free display: Apple's folding iPhone faces an uphill battle against Samsung"... or even better "Galaxy Z Fold8 with a crease-free display: This will be hard to beat" and not even mention Apple at all since they're irrelevant not having a competing product.

I think that you are overreacting, intentionally or not.

The "crease-free" future foldable phones has nothing to do with "who was first" to the fold phone scene, and being first, never concluded being the most knowledgeable or effective.

Apple simple waited until the fold tech has advanced enough, a lot more consumer interest, ect. before it *might* (all news are still just rumours for now) adapt into this segment; and the crease-free tech solution isn't from Sammy, as the article mentioned; so, I don't understand the pro-Samsung stance here.

Perhaps this is just an artifact of the translation process... but it's a beautiful example of how tech sites bias pro-Apple, perhaps without even realising it.
