Hello this is the wild here. And I couldn't help but hearing all the noise. It is apparent to me that no one who has responded owns a galaxy Fold or a Microsoft surface duo. Lol well, I  own both 😐😆 I also have an iPhone 11, and yes the rest of my family friends have  iPhone so it is a lonely existence on a android lol.
HOWEVER, the reason I got the galaxy fold,, and yes I had both the 2nd generation and the 3rd-really bc the 3rd cam out like 2mths after the 2nd and they gave me basically a free upgrade ) but I GOT the galaxy fold, bc one, it looked amazing duh. But 2, because the iPhone just constantly  wasted my time with clickbait bullshit and it was making me angry and sucked too much time out of my day. So-got an android.
And I will admit- the phone itself IS BEAUTIFUL! The crease you don't notice and is a non issue. Movies videos games, reading all are not interrupted by a weird crease. It just disappears when it unfolds. Also someone  mention that what about the outside of the iPhone is there no screen on the outside? I would imagine there would be bc there is on the samsung. However, on the Microsoft duo there is NOT a screen on the outside, but the duo permits you to fold it inside out and the 2 screen from the inside fold now folded to the outside can simply work interchangeably. So maybe the iPhone will be like that. Come to think of it, that would make sense.
So the folding technology is totally there and I'm sure Apple can do it better (no offense samsung and duo, you both are still my first techy loves,) 
The duo you can write on the 2 side surfaces and the samsug galaxy fold3 you can write on The inside surfaces, but not on the outside surface ( which is ridiculous bc the galaxy fold 2, you could only write on the outside but not the inside, so someone just needs to get their act together at samsung, bc that logic makes zero sense. 
So I have all 3 phones and I love them all. Actually that is not tru. I love the samsung and the duo bc they both offer the most futuristic thing I have ever experienced. But in using the 2 foldie phones, I can honestly attest to the fact that sadly APPLE IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF both samsung and Microsoft duo in the actual intenal organs of the machine. I mean it is on a differnernt planet. The ease of use ,the intuitiveness, and smoothness of FaceTime and text messaging to groups to everything . Apple has us all , and there is no escape bc the innards of apple are so damn good. 
But from an ease of viewing and the multitasking options that a duo screen offers, a folding screen IS great. And even tho I wonder if this article is real or not as the weather temperature on the Apple foldable mock up- is based on a city in pakistan, it makes me wonder.
Still, if the article is fake and Apple isnt coming out with a fold, they should!
-because they would blow it out of the park. But I hope they don't bc I would have to then give up my 2 beautiful foldies, bc Apple would have made it just be so much better.
I hope that answers a few of your questions. Also from the image it looks like the Apple fold would use the Microsoft duo foldingoptions, where closed it would be just closed, no screen, but you would be able to open it a full 180degrees, so you would have 2 working screen back to back if you wanted or one large screen..
So you could still text normally and  answer the phone like like a regular phone not an ipad.
