The iPhone Ultra may actually live up to the hype, as people who have tried pre-release versions of the model indicate it will be worthy of its hyper-premium price.
Apple is widely expected to be launching its first foldable smartphone in September, under what is believed to be called the iPhone Ultra. However, while it will ship with a more premium price than a typical Pro-grade iPhone, it seems that it may actually be worth it.
In Sunday's "Power On" newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman says he has spoken to multiple people who have tried out the inbound foldable. Based on what they say, it seems like it will offer a lot to potential buyers.
Despite being a thick device when folded, the pre-launch users say it still manages to fit in a pocket. They liked the way the hinge mechanism worked, expressing that it also felt durable.
The model, as you'd expect, also benefits from its massive folding display, which lets Apple introduce iPad-like app layouts. Even this was seen as a positive to the initial users.
When it comes to photography, the device apparently doesn't have a telephoto camera, but it's still great for taking shots. The foldable device apparently excels as a camera viewfinder.
There's also a reversion when it comes to biometric security, too. While iPhones are using Face ID, the new model will go back to Touch ID.
