Samsung has beaten Apple to the punch, but I’m annoyed that while it’s, in fact, a fantastic device, it’ll only help bolster the sales of the long-rumored iPhone Fold. It is a really ironic position for Samsung to find itself in. They have spent years flexing their engineering muscle, burning through iterations, and pushing folding display technology to its absolute limit to lead this space. Although I would argue that some others are doing…
