Samsung advised Apple that weight is the key factor for success in the foldable market, as Apple prepares to debut its first foldable iPhone, reportedly called the "iPhone Duo." Samsung executives Hee-Cheul Moon and Seungki Choi welcomed Apple's entry, saying it brings legitimacy to the category. Samsung highlighted its Galaxy Z Fold 8 at 201g, lighter than Apple's expected 230-241g foldable and the iPhone 17 Pro Max at 233g. Samsung has significantly reduced weight and thickness across foldable generations, positioning these as major improvements. Apple's device is expected to share the Galaxy Z Fold 8's form factor, setting up direct competition despite Android's head start in the market.
