Gurman: iPhone Ultra Wows Early Testers, Except for Its Camera
Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra is receiving positive feedback for its design and hinge, though testers have noted the lack of a telephoto lens. The device is expected to launch in September with a high price point starting at $2,000.
Why it matters
As Apple enters the foldable market, its design choices and pricing strategy will likely influence the broader smartphone industry's trajectory.
Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra is winning over the few people who have had hands-on time with the device, though the camera setup may leave some users wanting, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman.
Writing in his latest Power On newsletter , Gurman says people who have used the device – which is reportedly referred to internally as the iPhone Ultra – like how it fits in your pocket, as well as the feel and durability of its hinge mechanism. Testers have also apparently praised the new iPad-like app layouts that take advantage of the larger internal display when the phone is unfolded.
