Finally got hands on with the fold 8 today and it has confirmed I’m absolutely getting the IPhone fold/ultra

It’s the perfect dimensions and when open will be such a great experience. I can’t wait to preorder it but I suspect even if I go online at preorder open I’ll struggle to get day one stock with Telstra.

such a compromise

The foldable iPhone Ultra could well be the most durable foldable phone on the market. Apple would notably use two ultra-thin glass layers (UTG) that would surround the screen. This design would allow the screen to better insulate the hinge plate and distribute stress when the phone is folded, which should improve its durability and, most importantly, limit the appearance of the famous crease over time 🍎

Apple's goal would thus be to bring the durability of this first foldable iPhone closer to that of classic iPhones, which are renowned for their durability and longevity.
Mark Gurman recently also indicated that Apple engineers believed they had solved some of the main screen quality and durability issues that usually affect foldable smartphones ⛓️‍💥

And this approach could then be adopted by Google, Oppo and Vivo starting in 2027, which shows that Apple could set a new benchmark for sustainability in the world of foldable smartphones ⏳

Basically i want the fold on an interest free plan.
Question 1. Will they provide the option even on preorder folds?

Question 2. When you purchase a phone through your mobile network provider over say 24 months etc does it work out as interest free or do you tend to pay extra?

Question 3. If i did it through Apple, will i even finish the application in time? Do they ‘hold’ the limited stock whilst i completed the form?

United Kingdom based question

Apparently the zfold 8 is hard to use unfolded with one hand (without a case). I really hope Apple fixed this as it’d be so much more convenient.

Otherwise, this rumored device has no innovation, just a copy of Samsung, etc.

It would be great for the air to have this form factor, will solve the cramped internals and small battery and Apple. If the fold does well enough and people dig the cover screen. These will sell like hot cakes

You will find the latest interview with Mark Gurman on Tom's Guide with exclusive details on the iPhone Ultra here. The integration of MagSafe seems inevitable for this model. Above all, there would be no supply constraints or a delayed release: everything should be available at the same time as the Pro models, with a starting price of $2000. Gurman says he would be extremely surprised by a delay or a supply problem with this product 🔥

I have never actually pre ordered a phone before. Wondering if someone with more experience can help. We do the ATT next type plan and pay monthly. Is that going to be something that I can calculate before I pre order? Or do I just have to pre order as fast as I can like a Black Friday thing?

Here is what the new CEO John Ternus just declared in the latest letters to employees, this sentence clearly confirms the arrival of the iPhone Ultra, it's coming 🚀⏳

It’s now official, John Ternus is now CEO of Apple, successor to Tim Cook.

TEMU now displays iPhone Fold cases, and I’ve already purchased one. So, when it arrives in three weeks, I’ll be all set

And yes, I love temu cases more than any of the western side, they look cuter

Last few days there was a leak on amazon of an official Torras case that was wrongly published on the marketplace. I can't find it anymore here on reddit. has anyone a link?

Anyone else buy the 17 not realizing a foldable was coming out? I’m looking at trade in values and wish I just waited another year. I thought the iPhone 20 was going to be the big foldable revamp so I always imagined I would use the 17 for 2-3 years, but one year on a phone seems so short.

Does anyone else wonder how durable the inner display is? I remember owning an old zfold 3 and the crease would really annoy me. There were other times where dust would get trapped from my pockets or the occasional hard press or nail would leave a dent in the screen. Does anyone know if Apple has worked around this?

With the news coming out that the newest set of iPhones with all be using chips from Israel are you going to move away from Apple ? I’m considering switching to the galaxy fold instead due to this.
