Apple also allowed people who are not part of the company to test its first foldable iPhone early. They were impressed by the device and shared their experiences with Bloomberg. Here’s what they had to say.

The iPhone Ultra is said to feature:

• 7.8 Inch inner display
• Just 4.5-4.8mm thick when unfolded
• Premium, pocketable design
• Smooth iPad-like multitasking
• Strong performance for gaming & video
• Durable hinge

But there are some compromises 👀

❌ No telephoto
❌ Touch ID instead of Face ID
❌ Expected price above $2,000
❌ Potentially limited stock

Apple is reportedly planning a September reveal alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series.
