"Unfailingly, Apple is always either late or incredibly late to the party. In every single case, though, Apple is better."
That is an old paradigm. Things have changed. Apple isn't the disruptor it used to be. They were late to music streaming and after 4yrs Spotify is still #1. Their big hope is to try and bleed Spotify out of cash, as opposed to having a better service that everyone wants. 4 yrs into the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, they were the dominate player. They were late the smart speaker market and got crushed by Amazon and Google. They're late to the video streaming space and that looks like a major uphill fight. They completely missed out on web services that turned Microsoft and Amazon into behemoths.
Even on the products that they were early on, they're struggling. Siri is way behind the other assistants and Apple TV became a high priced streaming box with minimal market share.
I don't know if folding phones are the future. I do know that Apple isn't competing against the likes of RIM,Nokia, and FitBit anymore. They need to get faster at getting new products to market as well as faster at updating already existing products. The game has changed, they need to evolve with it.
Personally, I think the current Apple Music is not perfect but is better than Spotify. And HomePod has better quality sound than whatever Amazon and Google sell.
Can someone explain why foldable phones and tablets is even a thing? It seems like a solution in search of a problem to solve, while being its own new types of problems.

Subjective of course. Some blind tests have come to different conclusions.
