What feature are you wanting? Magnets or wireless charging? Magnets can be incorporated in the case
Both wireless charging with magnets, MagSafe. I have MagSafe charging dock which keeps my current iPhone propped up on a desk where I can use hands free. I also have a MagSafe charger in my car from 9volt. I don’t use phone cases. If there is no MagSafe in this version Apple really dropped the ball with this one.

But back to what I said originally, if Apple can fit MagSafe into the current iPhone Air there isn’t a good reason why they cannot fit it into the iPhone fold, if when unfolded it’s the same thickness as the iPhone Air.

This is exactly what I am hoping for is the Magsafe because I have the Belkin charging dock but I would use a case but for the price it should be built into the actual device itself and not rely on a case.

If Apple does what I hope it does, you won’t need a third camera. Apple’s Center Stage camera that is used on all current iPhones and iPads IS an ultrawide camera, even on the iPhone Air. People who say the Air doesn’t have an ultrawide are forgetting that camera. Granted it’s tough to take a photo over your shoulder, but it’s there.

If Apple puts a telephoto on the back instead of a duplicate ultrawide and just uses the FaceTime Center Stage camera as its ultrawide, it would have all three cameras we’ve come to expect on the pro phones on the one due out in a few weeks. With a foldable, it’s easy to use either the front screen folded or unfolded as the viewfinder. Unfolded, just face the inside screen towards where you want your shot and use the front camera to see what you’re taking a photo of.

Hopefully Apple figured that out and put a telephoto on the back.
The quality is no where near the same as the rear cameras.
 
I am good with the first two. Don’t want to push my luck too much

Two lenses would be totally fine if they would be selected better: 24mm and 75mm. Or even 20mm and 60mm. Both would be very versatile pairings.

On my 17 Pro, 100mm is being used daily — almost as much as 24mm. I rarely use 13mm.
 
Hardly revolutionary. Hopefully they are working to bring all Pro features to this supposedly Ultra device.
Tim Cook era hires love being busy manifesting about how 'revolutionary' it should be called or how 'revolutionary' its color choices should be. Meanwhile Z8 Fold already has sales of ~5 Million phones in less than a month.


Larger? Wake me up when there’s a trifold that goes from iPhone mini to iPad mini size. That I’d pay a premium for.
A cool concept would be have a screenless(like Apple Watch Ultra or a very small form factor-like) phone which could be MagSafe-attachable/pluggable to larger foldable screens(similar to Samsung Dex). That would solve the issue with RAM shortage and the choice between bi-fold or tri-fold as some people incl. myself just get both(iPad Pro 11-13 screen for home and iPad mini form factor in a cafe).

But hey to get there you need to innovate beyond Pro-exclusive color choices...
