Google's Android chief said the growing interest in foldable phones should give developers more reasons to optimize their apps for larger displays. Foldable phones are also gaining traction thanks to iPhone Duo, which is another very good argument why developers should focus on optimizing apps for foldable phones.
It has already been revealed several times that, despite the fact that the iOS market is smaller than the Android phone market, Apple App Store earns developers many times more than Google PlayThis is mainly due to the fact that even the cheapest iOS phones are still many times more expensive than Android phones, so while people on Android often reach for free or lower-priced apps, in the case of iOS users are not afraid to pay extra.

The apps you use can also contribute to a good user experience
This could also be a factor that will affect the future of app and game development for foldable phones. Of course, foldable phones are generally expensive and Samsung users who buy them are not very wealthy, but it will be interesting for developers that if they adapt their app for one platform, they will be able to use it for the other. Despite the fact that foldable Android phones have been available for 9 years, some very popular apps have not yet been adapted by their developers for foldable displays. Entry Apple into the foldable phone market thanks to the model iPhone Duo, developers could finally have a reason to take foldable phones seriously and both iOS and Android users could benefit from it.

Sameer Samat, president of the Android ecosystem division, said in an interview with Tom's Guidethat developers are increasingly seeing the benefits of investing in adapting their apps for foldable devices and that this type of design is gaining popularity. However, he sees and acknowledges that some of the leading apps have not yet mastered the transition to a flexible display and hopes that their developers will work on it in the near future. Personally, I had to laugh at how Apple during the performance iPhone Duo showed that applications for flexible displays of Android devices are not optimized. They will not be optimized for iOS devices from the beginning. It all depends on the developers, because native applications of course take into account larger displays, and logically so for Samsung.
