iPhone Switchers to Samsung Fold 8 and Flip 8 Double as Z Fold 8 Sets Preorder Records

Summary
Switches from iPhone to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 series have doubled from last year, with most defectors in their teens, 20s and 30s.
The surge came as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 posted Samsung’s strongest foldable launch yet, outselling every previous Galaxy Z Fold in global preorders and, in Korea, even topping all Galaxy S launches.
Samsung’s redesigned Fold 8 — with a smaller, wider cover screen and wider main display — appears to be driving demand, while Smart Switch now transfers call logs, eSIMs, messages, passwords and passkeys wirelessly from iPhones.
The gains are notable because Samsung has struggled to win younger users from Apple, and they come even with Apple’s first foldable iPhone Ultra said to be nearing launch.
