I'm not into apple ecosystem, but I hope they disrupt samsungs poor take on foldables, which have basically mid range hardware, even worse than Chinese f9ldables. It could also possibly motivate sony to bring foldable too. Hopefully such competition will improve cameras in foldables.
Apple may be heading in a different direction for its first 'book-style' foldable than its Android peers. With the foldable market moving towards larger cover displays in recent years, rumours about Apple developing a smaller foldable that offers an iPad mini experience when opened could help help distinguish the so-called iPhone Fold from an increasingly saturated market.
