Apple fans slam leaked design of new iPhone Ultra
New York Post • • technology
Key Points:
- Leaked footage of a supposed iPhone Fold prototype, tentatively called iPhone Ultra, has sparked negative reactions due to its bulky design and perceived lack of features like MagSafe and Face ID.
- The foldable device appears to open like a book into a tablet-sized screen, measuring 11mm thick when folded and 5.5mm when opened, making it slightly thinner than the iPhone Air.
- Consumers and commentators criticized the phone for offering less functionality compared to traditional iPhones and iPads, especially given its projected $2,000 price tag.
- Apple has faced significant engineering challenges with the foldable, delaying its release until September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models, putting it years behind competitors like Samsung and Google.
- Despite delays, Apple is confident it has addressed key foldable issues such as durability, screen quality, and the visible crease, aiming to differentiate itself through superior design.
