Samsung Mocks Apple's First Foldable iPhone Duo as a Copy

Apple launched its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, on Wednesday, but Samsung immediately mocked the debut on social media, calling it a copy of existing technology and highlighting Apple's late entry into the market. Samsung posted several jabs on X, including "Let us know when you're done reheating our leftovers" and "So far, so same," while noting competitors have already advanced to tri-fold concepts. Samsung has sold foldables since 2019, giving it a seven-year head start in refining design flaws. Apple's $1,999 Duo features a 7.6-inch horizontal screen and is its thinnest phone when open, though thicker than Chinese rivals' models. Apple argues its design and data privacy will help it leap ahead despite the teasing.
