Apple's foldable gives Samsung a boost
Sales of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 have reportedly increased in South Korea following the announcement of Apple's iPhone Duo. According to Android Authority, sales rose by approximately 10% in the week after the iPhone Duo's announcement.
The price of the iPhone Duo is cited as a possible reason for the boost in Galaxy Z Fold 8 sales. In the US, it costs $100 more than the Samsung device, with an even wider price gap in other markets.
The iPhone Duo's late-October shipping timeline, weight, and thickness may also have contributed to consumers favoring the Galaxy Z Fold 8, as per Android Authority.
