Why this mattersApple's entry into the foldable market represents a potential paradigm shift in smartphone hardware, challenging Samsung's long-standing dominance in this niche.

Additionally, the appointment of John Ternus as CEO marks a generational and stylistic transition from Tim Cook, making this his first major test of leadership vision.
