iPhone Fold ULTRA (Apple's Folding iPhone) Early Look
Audio Summary
AI Summary
The speaker unboxes a more polished model of the rumored folding iPhone, possibly called iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold. This new model is expected to provide a better understanding of the device's dimensions and handling. The form factor is described as a booklet or passport style.
Upon opening the box, the speaker reveals a model with a display representation and a more finished appearance, including the Apple logo and refined camera module. The buttons for volume are on top. The model's feel is significantly different due to the display representation.
The speaker then briefly promotes the "A sleep" app, highlighting its new sleep agent feature, which uses AI to provide comprehensive sleep analysis and daily recommendations for exercise and focus. It can integrate local weather and make suggestions for optimal bedtime and temperature control. A discount code "unbox therapy" is offered for up to $350 off the Pod 5.
Returning to the iPhone model, the speaker notes that while the display representation is present, one-handed reach is still awkward. It has a Type-C port on the bottom and power buttons on the side, with antenna bands added. The unfolded view shows a large screen area, with a front-facing camera in the top corner, a detail not present in the previous model.
Comparing it to the earlier model, the new one is much more slender, slightly wider, and a little taller, though these differences are subtle, less than a millimeter. The camera bulge has also shrunk. The placement of front-facing cameras in the corners is questioned, given Apple's existing Dynamic Island feature.
The speaker reflects on past folding concepts like Microsoft's Courier and Duo, noting similarities in aspect ratio and screen size. The new model is significantly thinner, measuring 4.72 mm unfolded, making it potentially the thinnest iPhone ever, even thinner than the rumored iPhone Air. In "sandwich mode" (folded), it's only slightly thicker than an iPhone 17 Pro.
The speaker expresses some skepticism about the accuracy of certain details, like the camera placement, but is confident about the overall form factor. This folding design is seen as pocket-friendly due to its shorter height. The video concludes with a visual of the device in use, suggesting multitasking or dual-display setups, and emphasizing that this model offers the best look yet at the upcoming folding iPhone.
