  "account": "Apple is reportedly planning to include MagSafe in its ultra-thin foldable iPhone, known as the iPhone Ultra, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The reason behind this decision is that Apple has already managed to fit MagSafe into the ultra-thin iPhone Air, suggesting that it should be possible to do so with the Ultra as well. The Ultra is rumored to be just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, making it thinner than even the iPhone Air's 5.6mm frame. This development would give the Ultra an advantage over Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra, which rely on cases for magnetic wireless charging. MagSafe offers the convenience of snapping on chargers or accessories directly to the folding phone without adding extra bulk, which could sway potential buyers to choose Apple. The foldable is also expected to feature a titanium body, an over-engineered hinge for a nearly creaseless display, a more compact camera island, and split-screen multitasking in iOS, which may be exclusive to this model. Additionally, iOS 27 will introduce a feature called iPhone Handoff, allowing users to move between two iPhones while keeping the same phone number on both, addressing the common issue of phone number association with one device.",
