Summary

Samsung Beats Apple

Samsung is projected to ship about 3.5 million Z Fold 8 Wide units at launch, outpacing Apple’s shortages through 2027.
Apple’s iPhone Ultra production moved from June to August, pushing mass shipments to December 2026.
Samsung draws on eight generations of foldable manufacturing and a mature supply chain to ship larger volumes faster than Apple.
Apple’s supply limits arise from flexible-display and hinge complexity, while Samsung will offer trade-in and storage-upgrade deals for early buyers.
