Apple has entered the foldable market with the iPhone Duo, and Pixelated episode 116 uses it as a stress test for the entire category. The conversation centers on a direct comparison: what Apple borrowed from Samsung and Google, where it claims to improve on them, and what those Android manufacturers should do differently in their next hardware generation.

The episode is worth the full listen because the analysis runs both directions. It is not an Apple-wins narrative. The hosts interrogate specific design and software decisions from all three players, which means there is actionable signal here for anyone tracking the competitive dynamics of foldables heading into 2026 and 2027 product cycles.

Pixelated publishes weekly on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Overcast. A members-only bonus episode runs alongside each main episode for 9to5Google Pro subscribers at 5 dollars per month.
