The MacRumors Show: Michael Fisher Talks iPhone Ultra
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- YouTuber Michael Fisher, aka "MrMobile," discusses rumors about Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, dubbed the "iPhone Ultra," expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro this fall with a 7.8-inch inner display and a price exceeding $2,000.
- The iPhone Ultra is rumored to feature a shorter, wider foldable design similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8, using a layered glass display and liquid metal hinge to reduce screen crease issues common in foldables.
- Unlike competitors like Samsung's Z Fold8 Ultra, the foldable iPhone may have only two rear lenses without a telephoto camera and is expected to use Touch ID in the side button instead of Face ID due to space constraints.
- Durability concerns remain, given the history of hinge failures in foldables and the lack of full dust resistance in current models; iOS 17 beta code hints at foldable-specific software features to optimize the user experience.
- Michael Fisher, an experienced foldable phone reviewer and co-founder of smartphone accessory maker Clicks, shares his insights on The MacRumors Show, which releases weekly episodes covering Apple news and rumors.
