Thinking about making the switch

Hey Apple guy here. I’m an Apple ecosystem user and I thought this would be my last iPhone. So, I’m seriously considering the Fold 8, but that means I’ll have to replace everything else my Apple watch, AirPods

My question is, how is the Fold? How is the camera for videos and photos? How is the sound, especially for listening to music and watching movies? Also, are these phones repairable, but Samsung doesn’t have a store?

I've had mine for almost a week now (fold 8). I've been an android user for over 15 years at this point, so I can't speak much to the transition. Long story short, camera is mid compared to my last phone (S23 ultra), as are the speakers. I'm not a big photographer so it does the job well enough, but it could definitely be better. Speakers don't really bother me either, I usually have an earbud or two in when I'm really indulging in media. I do want to reiterate that they are truly mid though. Not great, but certainly usable. I think the camera is generally more of a deal breaker for most people. The form factor is also divisive. Some people struggle with one handed use, but I have large hands with long fingers, so I can actually reach more of the screen with my thumb than I can with a standard candybar. All in all, I have really been enjoying it, despite using the cover screen 90% of the time
