 At some point Apple may actually release a foldable iPhone, and like most of what they do it will be made properly, work, and show all their "competitors" how it should have been done

 You have a lot of faith in a company that can't even make a simple modem.

 Apple has done it numerous times in the past with a wide variety of products ... which every other company then rushes to imitate, usually very badly.

 Poor apple. Other companies steal all their best shit.

They try to, but usually they do it so badly that the rip-off versions disappear again relatively quickly. Those that do continue to be sold are usually inferior or at least not as popular as Apple's products.
For example, Microsoft's Zune, which was a rip-off of the Apple iPod. The Zune was on sale from November 2006 until June 2012, while the iPod, in various forms, went from November 2001 until May 2022.
