iPhone Ultra Leaks Show Foldable Design Without Telephoto or Face ID, Months Before September Debut
7 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · May 15
Leaks point to Apple’s iPhone Ultra using a foldable design with a much shorter, wider outer screen and an iPad-like inner display.
Those reports also suggest notable trade-offs for the premium model: no Telephoto camera, no Face ID, and possible overheating risk from a titanium build without a vapor chamber.
The device would mark the iPhone’s first major form-factor shift, making the upgrade case less straightforward than the more conventional iPhone 18 Pro lineup.
With Apple still expected to make its official pitch in September, the key unanswered question is whether the new foldable format will outweigh those hardware compromises.
Can the iPhone Ultra's novel foldable design overcome its rumored lack of a telephoto camera and Face ID?
Will the iPhone Ultra's titanium design create another overheating controversy for Apple just months from its launch?
