iPhone Ultra could be a pricey experiment due to quick depreciation

A resale site warns that buying the iPhone Ultra could result in substantial value loss in its first year, with foldable smartphones losing about 64.6% of their value and a $2,000 iPhone Ultra potentially dropping as much as $1,292. While iPhones generally hold value better and Apple’s 14-day return policy could offset some costs, the overall depreciation could make the purchase a costly experiment.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Fold 8 split into classic book and new wide-fold designs

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Fold 8 head in two distinct directions: the Ultra preserves the traditional tall-book fold with an 8.0-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch outer screen plus upgraded cameras (200 MP main, 50 MP ultrawide, 10 MP telephoto), while the Fold 8 introduces a wide-style foldable with a 7.6-inch inner screen and a 5.4-inch cover display and a simpler camera setup (200 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide). Both are expected to use Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite for Galaxy, feature 12 GB RAM (with higher trims up to 16 GB) and 256–512 GB storage, Android 17 with One UI 9, and IP48-rated protection. Battery is around 5,000 mAh for both, with Ultra charging at up to 45 W and Fold 8 at up to 25 W, reflecting the twofold approach Samsung is taking with its foldables.

Samsung targets a crease-free future for Galaxy Z Fold Wide with thicker glass

Samsung targets a crease-free future for Galaxy Z Fold Wide with thicker glass

ZDNet Korea reports the Galaxy Z Fold Wide may use 60μm Ultra-Thin Glass, about 30% thicker than the Fold 8’s UTG, in a bid to hide the crease and improve durability. However, thicker glass could be more fragile when folded. If reception is positive, insiders say this thicker UTG could become standard across future folds (possibly the Galaxy Z Fold 9), signaling a broader crease-reduction push among foldables.
