As I already wrote, Apple He walked around for so long. iPhone Ultrauntil Samsung introduced itSamsung, of course, unlike Apple has been making foldable phones for years, but it wasn't until this year that he accidentally thought of making a model Galaxy Z Fold8, which according to all leaks so far is exactly what it will be iPhone Ultrawhat is miniIt mainly concerns the aspect ratio of the display. The first foldable phone Applu, which is most often called iPhone Ultra, to be presented on September 9 together with iPhones 18 Pro. Proyou are worth it Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, i.e. a device from a manufacturer that has several generations behind it Foldand could gradually solve many of their childhood diseases. At first glance, Samsung should have a huge lead. But according to the information so far, both phones will be surprisingly similar.
Forget about long and narrow Foldfrom past years. Galaxy Z Fold 8 has changed the proportions, offering a 7,6-inch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio when opened. When closed, it uses a 5,5-inch external display. The result is a phone that, when opened, resembles a small tablet more than two narrow displays joined together. And that's what it will most likely come with Apple and it is onen revolutionary view of foldable phones. Yes, it's unbelievable that in the last 9 years that foldable phones have existed, no one has thought of changing the aspect ratio so that the phone can display videos or photos on the entire screen when open, but Apple was supposed to be the first to come up with this this year. However, Samsung beat it to the punch. With the iPhone Ultra There is talk of an internal display with a diagonal of approximately 7,7 to 7,8″ and an external display of around 5,5″. In terms of dimensions, the two phones may be much closer than we would have expected a year ago.
Samsung has one advantage that Apple can't catch up
Galaxy Z Fold The 8 is a ready-made phone that you can pick up. With the iPhone Ultra For now, we are working with leaks, mockups and information from people connected to the supply chain. That needs to be said straight away when making such a comparison. Moreover, Samsung has not been producing foldable phones for the first or second year. It has experience with hinges, flexible displays, durability and software. The last point may be more important than it seems. Android and One UI For years, they've been counting on you opening an app on a small screen, unfolding the phone, and continuing on the big screen. Samsung has a sophisticated split-screen design, multi-app work, and other features that really make the most of the big screen. Plus, a friend who has the aforementioned Galaxy Z Fold8 told me that even a month after the phone's release, it's still struggling with the fact that most of the most important and most used third-party apps are still not adapted to the new format, and keep in mind that the apps for this phone are made by developers who have been working with foldable Android phones for many years.
Apple will start from scratch in this regard. On the other hand, it has one huge advantage: iPadOS. So it doesn't have to figure out how the app should look on a seven- to eight-inch display. Developers often have tablet versions of their apps ready long ago and Apple can bring the iPad experience to the iPhone. But only after the presentation will we see how well it really did. It will still depend mostly on the developers, because whether it will be iPadOS or some hybrid iOS perfectly tuned for iPhone Ultra It is more than clear that the problem may arise primarily with how quickly third-party developers can prepare their applications for iPhone Ultra.

The display fold can be for Apple essential
Anyone who has ever used a foldable phone knows that you get used to the crease in the middle of the display after a while. That doesn't mean it's not there, though. Samsung has significantly reduced it over the generations, and Fold 8 is completely different from the first in this respect Foldy, but you can still feel and see it in certain light or when you swipe your finger. However, it is necessary to objectively say that when you look directly at the phone, as you use it most often, you really don't see it.ancand see.
Right here from Applu is expecting a lot. For months, there have been reports that the company does not want a foldable iPhone until she can practically remove the crease. The latest information is a bit more sober. It probably won't be completely invisible, but it should be very inconspicuous. If AppIf they manage to make the crease less visible than Samsung, it will be a very marketable advantage. However, even here you Apple kind of let the train go because, as I say, the bend at Galaxy Z Fold8 is practically invisible when viewed directly, so there is not much to move the fold in the case of iPhone Ultra.
Samsung may surprisingly win in cameras
From the phone that is about to become the most expensive iPhonem in the offer, one would automatically expect the best camera as well. But this is where a compromise may come in. The information so far suggests that the foldable iPhone will have two rear cameras and a telephoto lens is not yet expected. If this is confirmed, it will be against Galaxy Z Fold 8 a rather noticeable disadvantage. And at the same time a bit of a strange situation, because one can iPhone Ultra to pay significantly more than for iPhone 18 Pro Max and get worse camera equipment. While Samsung also has its best cameras reserved for other models, it still offers wider photography options with foldable phones. So if the camera is one of your main priorities, I definitely wouldn't automatically assume that the more expensive iPhone will be better just because it is about Apple.
And then there's the price.
Galaxy Z Fold8 is among Samsung's most expensive phones and foldables iPhone it should go even higher. Price iPhone Ultra was revealed in a recent leak from Egyptian operator Vodafoneone, who published it directly on his official website. Price iPhone Ultra According to this operator, it should be $1999 or €2299 or 57,990 CZK in conversion. Price Galaxy Z Fold8 is $1899, €1999 and CZK48999 respectively. Which means that the price is significantly lower, especially in the Czech Republic than in the case of iPhone UltraIt is clear that the owners Galaxy they will not immediately pass on iPhone, as well as those who have not switched to today Galaxy They won't pass now because it will disappoint them. iPhone UltraOf course it is minilittle to think about, whether Apple really offers so much more than Galaxy Z Fold8 to defend his prize
A minor error in reasoning, as Samsung Fold The 8 also only has 2 cameras, the telephoto is missing here too.
In addition Apple will be the fourth with this aspect ratio: 1. Huawei, 2. Samsung, 3. tomorrow Xiaomi, which will also have a 3rd telephoto lens and only 4th will be Apple.
Oppo had this format in 2022….suddenly it's popular now
Hello, will someone from the editorial team be present in person at the keynote, as the largest Apple medium in the Czech Republic? When only some YouTubers go there – Mára and the like….
Unfortunately, no, we did not receive the invitation.
Such a question. From iPhone 17 is there the Jewish tracking chip or 16? I'm running out of 15 and looking around for a replacement, but I'm assuming this was the last one iPhone at my place.
