Foldable iPhone Ultra testers love the device except for these two things, report says
Apple is getting ready to release its first foldable phone, but the iPhone Ultra is reportedly missing two big features.
Just weeks away from the September iPhone launch, the first foldable iPhone, rumored to be the iPhone Ultra, is set to be announced. Early testers have given the device high praise, but there are two significant features missing. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who spoke to test users, is "couldn't be more excited" for the foldable device.
The iPhone Ultra's pocket-sized size and iPad-esque User Experience (UX) have been well-received. The hinge mechanism, which Apple perfects, has also received high marks for feel and durability. However, the testers noted two key omissions. Firstly, the iPhone Ultra lacks advanced camera capabilities, with only two rear cameras and no telephoto lens, a feature increasingly standard on premium phones.
At $2,000 minimum, the device may struggle to attract users who prioritize advanced camera features. Secondly, the iPhone Ultra does not feature Face ID, instead relying on Touch ID, a change that disappoints those accustomed to Apple's Face ID technology. These missing features may lead users to opt for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max models instead.
