Well-known Apple whistleblower Mark Gurman revealed that the development of Apple’s first foldable screen phone iPhone Ultra has entered a critical stage. Compared with current competing products, this new product will be committed to completely solving the two major pain points in the folding screen industry.
Apple engineers have made breakthrough progress in screen quality and overall durability, and the iPhone Ultra's screen creases will become extremely inconspicuous when unfolded. These two problems have always been long-term technical flaws that cannot be cured in folding screen phones.
Senior analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also pointed out that this folding screen iPhone will have a nearly crease-free top-level internal screen, and its expanded size will be approximately 7.7 inches. This ultimate screen technology will provide users with a purer and more complete visual experience.
In terms of hardware configuration, iPhone Ultra adopts a rear dual-camera solution, consisting of a 48-megapixel main camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Its core power comes from the powerful A20 Pro chip, and the external screen size is set at 5.3 inches.
In order to cope with the power consumption challenges brought by the large screen, the battery capacity of the phone is expected to exceed 5,000 mAh. This power reserve is extremely rare in the history of Apple mobile phones and is designed to provide users with long-lasting battery life during intensive use.
In addition to the huge changes in form, the experience of using the large screen is even more important. Thanks to the new screen ratio and the physical size that is very similar to the iPad mini, the mature interaction logic Apple has accumulated on the iPad over the years can be seamlessly migrated.
For Apple, the iOS system is expected to be significantly better than the current Android camp in terms of adaptability and experience to the folding screen ecosystem. This kind of in-depth optimization combining software and hardware is very worth looking forward to. It may redefine the interaction standards of folding screen mobile phones.
This large screen form not only improves the efficiency of multi-tasking, but also makes the iPhone more competitive in entertainment and office scenarios.
