Overview
- Multiple reports published Monday say Apple will unveil its first foldable, often called the iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, at an early‑September event though the company has not confirmed the product.
- Hands‑on impressions from anonymous Apple testers described a compact device with a roughly 5.5‑inch outer display, a 7.8‑inch inner display, a hinge that feels sturdy, and an unusually thin folded chassis.
- Reports say the phone will use a dual rear camera setup with a 48‑megapixel main sensor and an ultra‑wide lens but no optical telephoto, leaving users to rely on digital zoom.
- To achieve the slim body, Apple is reported to have replaced Face ID with Touch ID in the side/power button and to be adapting iPad‑style app layouts for the larger unfolded screen.
- Industry sources and analysts estimate a premium starting price above $2,000, say mass production at Foxconn began in July, and warn that initial availability will likely be limited and possibly U.S.‑first.
