Some exhibitors arrived at the IFA in Berlin and showed what the covers of the iPhone Ultra, the first folding smartphone produced by Apple, will look like. The covers also featured mockups, placeholders with the same dimensions as a product. The design confirms the rumors: once closed, the iPhone Ultra will be a smaller device than the ones we are used to holding in our hands.
For now, the iPhone Ultra is in the running to win the title of smartphone with the most spoilers in the history of telephony. Let’s take a step back: putting all the rumors collected in recent days it seems fairly certain that the September 9th Apple will launch its first device with a foldable screen. This technology has existed on the market for years, Samsung’s first foldable device was launched in 2019. In recent years, smartphones with folds have become increasingly solid: precise hinges, resistant, thin and reliable mechanisms. Over time, Apple’s leaflet has been much talked about: now it is preparing to arrive on the market.
In all this Apple has not yet released any preview, much less a confirmation. It’s all Cupertino style. Apple’s news is always revealed on the stages of their events. The next appointment has recently been announced: the appointment is for September 9th Steve Jobs Theater in CupertinoCalifornia. Here we explain how to follow it from home. Yet details about his leaflet, which should be called, are circulating everywhere iPhone Ultra. The design is more square, similar to the Fold8 recently presented by Samsung. There would be two cameras in the rear compartment, thus renouncing the telephoto lens.
The covers exhibited at the IFA in Berlin: an old problem
One has arrived in the last few days new confirmation. In Berlin theIFAone of the most important technology fairs in Europe. Usually here the exhibitors’ attention is focused above all on household appliances and household technology in general. Yet, in the smaller pavilions, it is not difficult for them to find a little space smaller brandsoften accessories. In the smaller rooms of the fair you can find stands of companies that produce covers for smartphones. Among those on display there is also the iPhone Ultra cover. It’s an old trick: very often to understand what the next smartphones will be like, you just need to look at the cover producers. They are the first to receive the specifications with design details in order to start the production of components. The photos you see in this article come from the stand of Kzoo, a Chinese cover manufacturer.
September 9th is the day Apple presents the first iPhone 18 models: how to follow the event
In addition to confirming the design, the fact that there are companies that are already there producing the device makes it pretty clear that it’s not long until we see it on the shelves anymore. Considering that Apple’s September event is where the company announces its biggest launches, the outcome is pretty clear. Apple Ultra should arrive on September 9ththus inaugurating Apple’s new course. A good way to start a new era in terms of corporate organization: from September 1st Apple is no longer led by Tim Cook but by the new CEO John Ternus.
The covers we found the rumors confirm. The form factor of the new device will be more like a square than a rectanglethis way once opened the screen will be optimized for 16:9 format. Not only that. The rear photographic compartment houses two cameras. Again as per the spoiler. The only difference is in the corners. In fact, from the cover it seems that they have the typical Apple curve based on the Squirclea geometric shape that you can find in many Cupertino devices. Try it if you bring the corner of an iPhone closer to that of a MacBook you will see how the curves overlap. On a large screen it’s just a detail but on a small screen like the front one of the Apple Ultra this is detail is very pronouncedperhaps making the space dedicated to the screen a little sacrificed.
Along with the covers there are also gods mockupsimitations of the device that follow its shape. Here they serve to make it clear how the cover fits. Unfortunately, from these we have not received further information regarding a highly anticipated detail: the hinge that joins the two screens. On the edge of the device we also find the housings for the volume keys. Exactly as we see them in other iPhone models. Not only that. From the white circle that you see on the converter we can anticipate that the device will also have the MagSafethe charging system with magnetic attachment also useful for attach accessories to the cover.
