iPhone Ultra is coming, here’s what the final rumors say
Apple is expected to announce its first-ever foldable iPhone tomorrow, which rumors say could be called the iPhone Ultra. Here are some last-minute rumors about what to expect. more…
Apple is set to unveil its inaugural foldable iPhone tomorrow, reportedly named the iPhone Ultra, according to recent rumors. Bloomberg revealed that the initial price point for the Ultra model was anticipated to be $1,999, but recent discussions indicate a potential increase to $2,199 due to escalating component costs. Configurations with larger storage capacities may reach up to $3,000, as per the report.
Instant Digital, a leaker on Weibo, stated that the foldable iPhone is likely to have a later launch in China compared to the rest of the world. This delay is mainly attributed to the device's eSIM-only setup, which faces slower adoption and infrastructure development in China compared to other nations. The iPhone Air also experienced a later launch in China due to similar regulatory hurdles related to its eSIM-only design.
Developer Pdfu recently disclosed through social media that the iPhone Ultra might incorporate Touch ID instead of the more commonly utilized Face ID. This information aligns with previous reports that have portrayed Face ID as a potential limitation of the device, further lending credence to this claim. Apple aimed to craft a foldable iPhone sans any discernible crease, a feat they have reportedly achieved by engineering an "advanced titanium-and-aluminum hinge system combined with custom cover glass."
Although the crease is not entirely absent, Apple intends to market this attribute as a significant competitive edge.
There remains some ambiguity regarding the inclusion of MagSafe support on the iPhone Ultra. In a recent interview, Mark Gurman provided clarity on this matter, stating, "MagSafe is there. All indications I've heard are that MagSafe is in for this foldable phone." Reporters are invited to share any final thoughts or predictions about the iPhone Ultra, including its potential name, in the comments section.
