Apple launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, during an event at Apple Park. The announcement generated repercussions among consumers and also caught the attention of competitors.
Minutes after the announcement, Samsung and Motorola took the opportunity to tease Apple on social media. Both manufacturers joined the conversation to stake their position in light of Apple's entry into a segment they have been exploring for years.
Samsung was one of the first to react, highlighting that it has been operating in the foldable smartphone market for several generations. The South Korean manufacturer emphasized the reduced thickness of its devices as a differentiating factor.
According to the post, Samsung's Z Fold 8 weighs 201 grams, less than the Duo's 254 grams. The Korean model has a thickness of 9.7 mm, reinforcing the message that Apple has finally arrived at a category that its rival has been helping to build for quite some time.
