Summary
Apple’s rumored iPhone Ultra could arrive with a 5,400-5,800mAh battery, an A20 Pro chip and a crease-free 7.8-inch foldable display, giving it an early specs edge over Samsung’s next book-style foldable.
Samsung’s rumored Galaxy Z Fold 8 is tipped to counter with a wider redesign, a 7.6-inch main screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a 4,800mAh battery, while likely starting at $1,999.99 or less.
Price leaks suggest Apple’s foldable may start above $2,000, making it slightly costlier than Samsung’s model even though both are expected to use dual rear cameras and similar wide-screen layouts.
Timing could shape the rivalry: Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in July, while Apple’s first foldable is tipped for September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro line, though some rumors point to 2027.
