Galaxy Z Fold 7: Thin Enough to Leave the iPhone?

Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 thin enough to make you ditch your iPhone? Marc Aflalo joins Double Tap to share his hands-on impressions and explore what folding phones mean for accessibility, productivity, and the future of mobile tech.

Steven and Shaun welcome Marc Aflalo back to Double Tap for an in-depth conversation about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. With an unbelievably thin profile, two gorgeous screens, and improved durability, is this the foldable phone that finally wins over longtime Apple users?

Marc shares real-world impressions of the Fold 7’s design, usability, and accessibility features. He also weighs in on the new Galaxy Watch, the evolving role of Google Gemini, and why Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses might still have the edge in wearable tech.

Later in the episode, the hosts reflect on blind leadership, the low expectations society has for blind individuals, and why capability alone isn’t enough—expectation matters. From folding screens to raising the bar for inclusion, this episode covers tech, culture, and the future of accessibility.
