Concept Video Imagines Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Reveal

[eitanharlev]

Dang, at this point why even watch the actual reveal? 😩😂

 

[Nyx1]

iPhone book?

 

[Jakol]

Still not interested without Face ID. Touch ID on the power button on iPad is awful.

I do a lot of wood work and my fingers are all messed up and it's a pain to use touch id.

 

[sw1tcher]

of all the types of rumors, names tend to be the most accurate.

No so with the Vision Pro and Vision OS

All the rumored names were way off the mark.

Apple Vision Pro Was Almost Called 'Reality Pro'

The Vision Pro headset was internally called "Reality Pro" for a significant stretch of its development before Apple settled on the name it ultimately shipped with, according to the prototype collector and leaker known as "Kosutami". In a post on X, Kosutami wrote that the "Apple Vision Pro was...

People who really love smartphones will love this. (Although, $2000? Really?)

I personally find smartphones a necessary evil and the last thing I'd want is an iPhone that folds horizontally into a bigger iPhone. A vertical flip phone, though, I could be down with (because folded, it'd be really small and out of the way).

well technically it was accurate up until they came up with something different. they had that trademarked and everything. but closer to the launch the rumored name changed to the one it was launched with. we are a month out, it's going to be iPhone Ultra... now the argument about it being a good name is a different thing.

Dat crease!

Apple Iron is already tested in Cupertino labs….

 

[klasma]

What’s up with the shoe shot at 0:32? Apple Oxford confirmed?

 

[jingbugle]

Seriously, who came up with that form factor 😞

 

[B_mark_R]

i doubt they launch this next gen ultra premium device with “touch ID”. I think they will rebrand it and maybe slightly enhance it. Im guessing “Ambient ID” where it collects fingerprint and visual data, maybe more, to generate a more robust authentication.

 

[klasma]

While struggling to get it out of his pocket.

If he’s wearing phat pants we’ll know what’s up.

 

[Dirk Pieters]

I hate Touch ID. I wish I had looked better at the iPad mini specs. If I had known it didn't have Face ID I wouldn't have bought it.

 

[klasma]

Still not interested without Face ID. Touch ID on the power button on iPad is awful.

The smaller front screen would have been an opportunity to reintroduce the Home button. It would still be reachable fairly well when using the inner screen.

 

[123ABCDN]

Look how LARGE those black borders are when watching videos! There will be ALOT of upset buyers when comparing the “iPhone Ultra’s” actual video viewable are when that of an iPhone 18 Pro Max or even an iPad Mini. “But I like having the convenience of a phone and a larger screen”. DO NOT FORGET That the inner screen PERMANENTLY is damaged from hard presses and fingernails. Don’t believe me? Search what warning is displayed on every foldable available on the market.

 

[Digital Skunk]

I don't mind the .... ugh .... girth of the phone, but that crease is going to have to go. Apple is certainly going to charge WAY more than standard (~$1900) prices for their foldable.

So how do you explain this?

Latest Leak Suggests Apple Will Announce 'iPhone 8', 'iPhone 8 Plus', and 'iPhone X' on Tuesday

Last night, the iOS 11 GM was leaked and we got a glimpse into numerous iPhone 8 features, including a look at a new edition of the Apple Watch, and even new "Animoji". Now, developer Steve Troughton-Smith has dug up new info related to the official names of the iPhones being announced on...

www.macrumors.com

Literally only leaked three days before the event, up until then everyone was convinced it would be called the 7S, 7S+ and 8 or even “iPhone edition”.

Or how about…

Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'

Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available...

www.macrumors.com

Again, less than 24 hours before the event where it was announced.

as for your Vision Pro claim, you’re just wrong because the Vision Pro name was never even rumored, it was never leaked, it was a complete surprise at the event. This is literally just two days before that year’s WWDC…

Apple to Provide Hands-On Demos of New AR/VR Headset

Apple at its upcoming WWDC 2023 Apple Park event plans to provide some developers and attendees with an opportunity to try out the new AR/VR headset following its announcement, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple headset concept by Marcus Kane Apple built a new "structure" at the Apple...

www.macrumors.com

As far as I can tell, looking through every source and every rumor about the product, the actual name “iPhone Ultra” has not leaked in any actual capacity. No leaked internal iOS builds, no leaked Apple marketing, no internal documents, nothing. It’s literally just the name that Gurman and other news sources have given it just based off of nothing but feelings and vibes.
In fact, the last we heard, literally the only evidence for it being a thing is that people within Apple have been calling it that, which means absolutely nothing. Most people working on unreleased Apple products have no idea the official marketing name until the rest of us find out. Joz literally said during an interview that only a small group of senior vice presidents within Apple ever knew the Vision Pro name before the event.
In fact, there’s a little bit of evidence against it, seeing as that Mark has been calling the AirPods with cameras the “AirPods Ultra”… until last week, when that macOS build with all of those leaked products clearly shows that it’s labeled as “AirPodsPro1,4”. And he has completely backed off from calling the OLED MacBook Pro the “Ultra” as well, because it is clearly just the next generation of the MacBook Pro.
If AirPods Ultra aren’t real, and MacBook Ultra aren’t real, and it’s the exact same source saying those were real as saying the iPhone Ultra is, that probably means that the name iPhone Ultra is also not real.

Did you buy 3rd party/reseller used? Apple Store direct purchases allow 14 day return policy.

 

[klasma]

It’s pretty much ISO 7810 ID-3.

Look how LARGE those black borders are when watching videos! There will be ALOT of upset buyers when comparing the “iPhone Ultra’s” actual video viewable are when that of an iPhone 18 Pro Max or even an iPad Mini.

16:9 content will still be significantly larger than on a Pro Max (green):

And the inner screen will be great for viewing 3:2 photos.

Compared to the iPad mini (blue below), the display is only 8% narrower at almost the same height:

The trade-off is that if you’d fold an iPad mini screen in half, you’d end up with a really wide phone.

 

[JtheLemur]

Why are we looking at shoes at 0:32? The fsck out of here with this AI garbage

 

[uiterlix]

Apple being Apple will mean the hardware will look sleek but the software will be mediocre. Remember the Ipad that was just a blown-up iPhone for the first decade of its existence. It will probably run two apps side by side and run Safari full screen. It will be a nightmare for app developers.

 

[xnu]

Very cool.... but what is up with this shot? Weirdly placed shoe reveal?
