Foldable iPhone May Drop Face ID and Telephoto Cameras

Apple's first foldable iPhone, possibly called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut Sept 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup at a premium price. To fit a thin design, it may drop Face ID in favor of Touch ID on the side power button, omit a dedicated telephoto camera in favor of two 48MP sensors, and feature an outer 5.5-inch display with a 7.8-inch internal screen. MagSafe is expected to stay, and the device could ship with eSIM-only connectivity and potentially miss mmWave 5G in some versions; details such as button layout and crease reduction hinge remain speculative.

Foldable iPhone Ultra May Skip Five Pro Features

Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra is expected to debut around $2,000–$2,500 but is said to drop several flagship features: Face ID/TrueDepth may be replaced by a Touch ID side button with an under‑display selfie camera, there’s likely no dedicated Telephoto/third rear camera, no Action button, no physical SIM card slot (eSIM‑only in many markets), and possibly no mmWave 5G depending on the C2 modem. MagSafe may still be included. The design is said to resemble the iPhone Air, and Apple will announce it alongside iPhone 18 Pro models at the September event, though these compromises could spark debate among buyers.

While the Tensor G6 isn’t the dramatic leap some expected, these changes combine to improve camera versatility, connectivity, usability, and on-device AI, nudging many Pixel 9 owners to consider upgrading.
