Heard samsung is cutting production for the next fold. Rather than cutting production why don't give us better products for the premium price we are paying.
Pepole are just switching to other companies because there is better specs in other foldables.
A better camera in par with the 24 ultra, better battery, bigger front display and anti reflective inner screen would had made a huge difference in sales for the z fold 6. Rest of the phone is really good.
I mean, they could make a better product and cut production at the same time. These two aren't opposites of each other after all. Though, I think they're going to make the Z Fold 7 have almost all the upgrades we wanted from the start since the Z Fold Special Edition taught them that if they actually make a meaningful upgrade then more customers will buy.
I can't claim to know what playbook Samsung is using, but from my studies of the personal computing industry, a core rule of competition in a vertically aligned at-scale tech industry is:
Don't introduce improvements whose only purpose is to give you an advantage over a competitor without giving your customers substantial advantages.
On this point, I can only think: will giving Samsung customers what the other Asian OEMs are giving their customers offer Samsung customers substantial advantages? I suspect the answer is no.
So, given this, I guess Samsung will iteratively advance its own products, and/or introduce changes first in the very Asian markets where the strongest competitors exist. We're currently seeing the latter, evidently.
