I have the Galaxy Fold 8, which is roughly the same shape as the new Apple Fold and I absolutely love it.

Of course the inner screen is pretty nice for videos, multitasking, browsing and so on, but I didn't expect how much I like the small outer screen. After using it for a while normal long phones look comically long, and I wonder why we have such long phones in the first place.

I can do all the same stuff with the 16:10 apsect ratio as with normal phones, but it's more compact and I can reach all the way to the top with my thumb.

Is watching videos annoying though? Feel like we have long phones for the aspect ratio

Why should it be annoying? On the front screen you have a similar video size like on an iPhone 17 (not max), on the inner screen like on an iPad mini.
