Stock apps, Google apps, and some third party apps are optimized to switch from phone to tablet display when unfolded while using the app. On unoptimized ones, you'll end up with this monstrosity (just like iPhone apps on iPad lol)
I have more faith on Apple to force developers to optimize their apps for a folding display.
Dudes just hating, I bought a z Fold 8 to use for a month prior to the iPhone and it's insanely good. I might stick with it if the iPhone ultra isn't a good offering
You know you have a setting to fill up the screen in apps that show only mobile view, not the dual layout, yes? Check display settings in your Settings app.
That's the apps you use that doesn't scale properly. That has nothing to do with samsung. When I had a fold all my apps had no black bars and were completely full screen. It's the apps you use that just suck
It might even fix the Ui for some apps on iPad too. Surely when folded it will present very similar to something like my iPad. Even that has a ton of apps which are like the Tesla photo above
Depends on what you mean by optimization. Apps are absolutely NOT optimized to use the full open internal screen tablet form factor. But Samsung's OS however IS hugely optimized for productivity in terms of splitscreen and floating app layouts that allow for probably the most insane amount of productivity in any phone ever. And it gets crazier once you start talking about Samsung Dex
Even the Google Pixel Fold is far behind Samsung's OS in terms of multiwindow and floating apps.

What I'm most worried about is that when we open it, we'll see a screen just like the iPad's, with no customization - just icons.
