Gurman: iPhone Ultra Wows Early Testers, Except for Its Camera
Early testers praise its pocketability, hinge durability and large inner display, but the dual-camera setup lacks a telephoto lens, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says.
- Apple's Ultra foldable device is winning over testers, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says users appreciate how it fits in your pocket and the durability of its hinge mechanism.
- Like Samsung's recent foldable, the Ultra features a 5.5-inch outer display and a roughly 7.8-inch inner display, remaining around 4.5mm thick when unfolded due to Touch integrated into the side button.
- Testers praise the tablet-like app layouts that utilize the larger internal display. Beyond productivity, the device performs well as a camera viewfinder, though the dual-lens system lacks a telephoto lens.
- Reports suggest the device could start at $2,000 and climb past $2,500 for higher storage tiers, positioning the Ultra alongside the Pro and Pro Max models in Apple's premium lineup.
- Apple plans to unveil the Ultra at a launch event on or around September 9. While some users may prefer the traditional Touch setup, the absence of Face remains a compromise for the new foldable.
