iPhone Ultra last-minute report touts 'industry-leading' build quality — and a $2,199 starting price
A new report reveals a potential price and some qualities about the upcoming iPhone Ultra
Apple's first event as CEO John Ternus unveiled the iPhone Ultra, a foldable device in development for a decade. The report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed a starting price of $2,100, potentially reaching up to $3,000 for high-end models. The Ultra boasts premium build quality with a titanium and aluminum hinge, and a new Corning glass cover for the display.
Apple claims its industry-leading quality, with software optimization for the wide screen and tweaks to iOS. Development began in earnest in 2019 after Tim Cook's return from Asia, inspired by foldable phones from other companies. Cook reportedly pushed the project forward, moving from an initial clamshell design to the current book-style configuration.
While a clamshell variant remains a possibility, the shift in focus was influenced by Cook's enthusiasm for the foldable iPhone.
