iPhone Ultra is coming: Six new features in Apple’s high-end model

Apple's long-awaited foray into foldable smartphones is set to disrupt the premium market with a 7.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, a quad-camera setup featuring a 50MP primary sensor, and a 5124mAh battery with 45W fast charging. The iPhone Ultra is also expected to boast a new A18 Bionic chip with a 5nm process and up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. This high-end model will likely retail at a premium price point, starting at $1,499.

Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored to be called iPhone Ultra, is expected to be released this fall. The device will have a unique design, with a book-style fold and a crease-free inner display. The iPhone Ultra will have two displays: an outer display measuring 5.3 to 5.5 inches and an inner display measuring 7.6 to 7.8 inches.

Overview

The iPhone Ultra will be powered by a new A20 Pro chip with a 2-nanometer process and a C2 cellular modem. It will have 12GB of RAM and a faster LPDDR5 for improved performance. The device will also feature two rear cameras: a 48MP main camera and a 48MP ultra-wide camera, as well as two front-facing cameras.

What it does

The iPhone Ultra will run on iOS 27, which will bring new multitasking features, including side-by-side apps and iPad-like app layouts. However, it will not support full-fledged windowing features or run iPadOS. The device will also feature Touch ID, integrated into the power button, instead of Face ID.

Tradeoffs

The iPhone Ultra is expected to be the most expensive iPhone ever, with a rumored starting price of around $1,999 for a 256GB model. The device's unique design and features may justify the high price, but it may not be the best option for everyone.

In terms of specifications, the iPhone Ultra is expected to have a titanium border, be ultra-thin when unfolded, and resemble two iPhone Airs stacked together when folded. The device will also have a new A20 Pro chip, which is expected to be a larger-than-usual upgrade thanks to the new 2-nanometer process and the use of WMCM to improve efficiency further.

The iPhone Ultra's cameras will include two rear lenses and two front-facing cameras. The device will also have a hole-punch design and will likely use the same 18MP Center Stage camera that launched with iPhone 17 last year.

In conclusion, the iPhone Ultra is a unique device that combines the features of an iPhone and an iPad into a single device. While it may be the most expensive iPhone ever, its features and design may make it a worthwhile investment for some users.

The Road to Name-Based Destructuring

Scala 3’s experimental `-Xname-based-destructuring` flag quietly retools pattern matching, letting developers unpack case classes by field name instead of position—an opt-in syntax shift that could unseat decades of positional destructuring habits and streamline refactoring for data-heavy codebases. The compiler now accepts `val (x, y)` for named fields and `val [x, y]` for positional, with stable release slated for the next minor version.
