The first iPhone foldable from Apple could see a feature making it comeback after the iPhone X launch. We are talking about the Touch ID, which has been ever-present on the iPads and more recently, Macs but missing from the iPhone when Apple decided to bring Face ID into the market.
But iPhone Ultra is said to ditch the facial option and offer the touch ID built into the power button on the side. This is similar to both Google and Samsung’s foldable devices and Apple is not going to move away from the current trend, one that will be new for many Apple users on an iPhone.
Say no to telephoto?
The iPhone Ultra is going to be a premium device (priced over $2000) but still Apple is said to be offering it without a telephoto lens. Many people use the version to click depth and sharp photos and a pricey Apple device missing out on it might be a deal breaker for some.
There is going to be a lot of first for Apple with this product. The iOS/iPadOS version running on the device needs to work across three screens. The apps need to be optimised to run across all of them, including the foldable bigger screen.
The battery life will also be a big highlight of how long the device can run, and yes, the inevitable crease talk, and if Apple can manage the lines better than the rivals.
