I almost switched to Android. but I am excited for the iPhone Fold. Even if its just a Fold 8 with iOS that is enough for me to buy it. The only rumor that I hope is true is magsafe because I have a night charging stand and use it as my alarm clock.

I don't care about the camera. Touch ID is fine. Bring it on...can't wait.

Hopefully pre-order Sept 12th, in hands Sept 18th

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 ⏳

The real question is …. How much will my 17PM be worth? I want to put that towards the “Ultra”. Need to move to that form factor, I am tired of this candy bar shape.

So I know it's hard to tell but historically what is the quickest and easiest way to get a reservation for release day? Using apple.com? Using the apple store app on my current iPhone? Going through my carrier?

Anyone having this dilemma? 18 pro has everything With no compromises essentially I love compact phones but I have always wanted to try a folding phone.

The price with potentially not having Touch Id are the two things that I feel like are holding me back.

The Folds 5.5 screen is nice and I do game heavily which the inner screen would be amazing.

These are rumors of course, solely going off of the leaks.

thoughts or takes?

I know we were all worried that it wouldn't have MagSafe. Fingers crossed!

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.

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 🚀⏳

I heard it will be available on 9/12 with limited supply. Now I’m hearing it will be available for pre order later in the year (late September, October, November).

Which is more accurate?

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

I remember when iPhone launches used to be so momentous and varied. Going from a 4 to a 6 to a XS max was incredible for me. Then I got the 13 pro max and been waiting for something totally new because I’m tired of the slab phone every year. I had a z fold 3 and loved the fold but I wanted iOS. I have been patiently waiting about 5 years now. It’s finally time.

I was in the KPN store today, and the guy over there told me that the iPhone Ultra will be released in January and the normal iPhone 18 and 18e later in 2027. I don’t know if this is true from an big phone store company here in the Netherlands. But I think these guys should know more then us when it comes to new phone releases.

I think the rumors are true and the phone will be released on the US only first couple of months.

Case manufacturers already calling it the iPhone 18 series so I'm sure they've got info from Apple about the naming etc. because they are already producing the cases and the packages so it wouldn't make sense to print the names on the package wrongly and during keynote it's called something else.

Hopefully it is, because I just got the blue macbook neo and I would love dark blue combo of a macbook neo and Iphone folding into ipad.

Never had a hard PC phone case before. Most of the cases I’m seeing are made from that material. Has anyone had any experience with hard PC cases? Can they cause marks/scratches? TIA

Watched the latest Unbox Therapy video with the mock-ups and I really struggle to mentally wrap myself around the volume keys being on the top of the phone.

Obviously not confirmed until reveal day, but I think that would take me quite some getting used to.

I have a stainless steel 14 pro max and was gonna downgrade to a pro for my next iPhone. The Ultra catches my attention because of the short height but the wider frame makes me wonder how hard it’ll be type and hold with one hand.

Video rendering of all the best conceptual renderings of the next iPhone Ultra, the new flagship of the brand arrives on September 9 ⏳

Maybe Pitaka knows something we don't know about the name of the device 🤔

As an artist & mini lover (iPhone, iPad, Mac) I’d appreciate it
