Here’s how iPhone Ultra’s form factor could compare to other Apple products

Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, is expected to be unveiled at an event. According to 9to5Mac, it will feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display. These screen sizes are the same as those of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, which was introduced in July.

The iPhone Ultra is said to have a passport-style design, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 8, as reported by TechRadar. It may also support MagSafe, but it is unlikely to come with stylus support at launch.

The iPhone Ultra has been rumored for several years, with Tom's Guide noting that Apple has been working to eliminate the visible crease that appears on foldable screens when they are bent. The crease is caused by the repeated stress of bending the screen and the pressure exerted by the hinge mechanism.

  • Football scores include additional complexities like penalties and shootouts

  • A source map links positions in output files to source files.
  • Validity of source maps can be questioned even when structurally sound.
