I was quite excited about the iPhone Ultra but after playing with the Fold 8 I’ve gone right off the idea. The phone itself feels very small, and with my 51-year-old eyes, it just seems too small to be comfortable for me. I feel quite constrained with the outer screen. I’m really missing the height of my 17 Pro Max, and I don’t think I could adapt to it very easily.
When I type on WhatsApp, the keyboard takes up most of the screen and you just cannot see much going on above the keyboard any text or images, etc. So I found myself opening the phone up more than I thought, just to do basic functions such as messaging and email, etc. I do love my camera on my phone, so I think the compromises in that part would really start to annoy me fast. I don’t think the slightly larger unfolded screen over the 17 Pro Max would be enough to make me lose those camera features. I am glad I’ve experienced the fold eight, so it means I think I’ll be going for the 18 Pro Max instead of the iPhone Ultra.
