Writing on the WebKit blog about the Safari 27.1 update, Apple employee Jen Simmons stated that the company is investigating fixes for the layout. The move comes as reviews highlighted that right-aligned controls in Safari take up significant room on the narrow outer screen. [1]

The layout issues follow the official launch of the foldable device, as reported by Dawn, The Express Tribune, and WKZO. zeera wireless also reported that users face Safari layout problems due to the small outer screen size. Meanwhile, the New York Post reported that the new device carries a price tag of $2,000. [2][5][6][7][8]
