Samsung gets ‘Tim Cook’ to praise the Galaxy Z Fold 8
- Apple recently launched the iPhone Duo, marking its entry into the foldable market, yet the company remains heavily reliant on rival Samsung Display for essential foldable OLED panels.
- Limited by production requirements, Apple had few alternatives for sourcing a foldable panel capable of meeting its quality standards, forcing reliance on Samsung to manufacture components to its specifications.
- Industry officials note Apple faces significant pricing pressure; higher-capacity versions of the Duo are expected to cost more than A$5,000, while the company struggles to negotiate lower memory costs.
- Samsung is responding to the Duo by circulating a cheeky ad featuring a "Tim Cook from Palmerston North," a New Zealander who happens to share the Apple CEO's name.
- Linda Sui, founder of Smart Analytics Global, noted the Duo is unusually dependent on South Korea for "several critical and difficult-to-replace technologies," limiting Apple's supplier diversification options.
