Foldable iPhone Ultra wins early praise for design and hinge, telephoto concern lingers

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports early testers of Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra praise its pocket-friendly form factor, durable hinge, and iPad-like inner display that’s easy to use, including as a camera viewfinder; however, the absence of a telephoto camera could disappoint at an expected $2,000 price.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Impresses Testers, Camera Gap Could Hold It Back

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple's foldable iPhone Ultra is winning early hands-on praise for its pocket-friendly size, sturdy hinge, and iPad-like UI on the large unfolded display, and even works as a camera viewfinder, but its lack of a telephoto lens may hurt sales. The Ultra is said to use a dual rear camera with a 48MP main sensor plus ultra-wide, relies on side-mounted Touch ID instead of in-display Face ID to keep thickness around 4.5mm unfolded, and is expected to feature a ~5.5-inch outer display and ~7.8-inch inner display. It is rumored to debut around Sept. 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max and could start around $2,000, climbing for higher storage.

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro XL and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max are competing for the top spot in the premium smartphone space, with Pixel offering a brighter 3,600-nit display and a 5,115 mAh battery, along with AI-driven features like Gemini and Magic Capture, while the iPhone emphasizes Dynamic Island, a 6.9-inch OLED, strong battery life, and Pro camera tools such as Photographic Styles.
