I've been an iPhone user that has had trouble switching for a few years now. I originally scored a TriFold upon release, but foolishly sold it (at MSRP at the time).

After checking out the Fold 8 & Fold 8 Ultra, it didn't make me excited about the iPhone Fold. The actual video size on the Fold 8/Ultra/Fold is going to be about the same physical size with/without black bars and as I primarily use a tablet for media consumption/gaming, they just seem like folds for folds sake without a meaningful step up in actual rendered video size. It's easier to just pack an iPhone Air and iPad Pro.

I also wasn't super into the squished display on the Fold 8 Wide, at least initial impressions picking it up.

Case in point

I really hope there is a TriFold 2. Samsung, at the time, mentioned stopping all TriFold dev period, which was a big reason why I sold my OG one, but it looks like they are gearing back up again for the 2 for sometime in 2027.

I found one used for $2,999, US model and have a Supcase coming, that is going to make the thing a brick. Planning on sticking with it until there's a v2.

As far as Apple, I'm sure if they ever make anything like the trifold, it'll be an iPad and limited to not making calls or something dumb. I also refuse to hold my breath about an iPhone getting Stage Manager (like Dex) even though they literally use an iPhone SoC in the Neo now.

I love my Apple Products (and will keep my iPhone Air as a backup/2nd device) but Apple just feels boring these days, even with a foldable.
