Hey y’all is anyone else really excited about the iPhone Ultra!? Like I know it’s losing FaceID and MagSafe but I’m super excited about this phone. I love foldable and I’ve had the Z Fold but I hate anything not Apple, so I sent it back and I’m waiting for the Ultra. Who’s with me?

I think there are a fair number of foldable users who will come back to Apple when the Apple foldable is released.

I’m more interested in iOS 27 allowing iPhone users to use the same number with another iPhone.

Not at the price Apple will be charging for it -
 
I am excited for it, I like foldables but prefer iOS. I also think the form factor makes more sense than most otherr foldables.

Just hoping it isn’t delayed much and I manage to snag one day one.
 
I will be getting one but right now I decided to wait and see what tech reviewers all have to say about the new Ultra and weigh in everything before spending the cash to acquire this asset.
 
Personally I am super excited for it, and these rumors of it not launching in September bum me out, as I am so ready to turn in my 17 PM and get the Ultra!!
 
I don't care for folding phones. The cameras aren't pro enough for my needs and the display isn't glass, only high quality plastic. I understand the concept, but I've never been a fan. I've mostly switched to Samsung and I hardly use my 17 pro max. So I'll watch the keynote like everyone else and see what apple does.
 
I’m interested / curious to see the tech behind it, just to see what Apple finally does with it.

I know I am not in the market for the insane prices they’re going to ask for it anyway.

I’ll also probably be disappointed because it’s a version one that won’t support Apple Pencil, magsafe, pro cameras, again for the price.

So I’m curious to see what they come up with, but not interested in buying (which, fair enough, makes apple not care about my opinion I think 😉)
 
I’ve been a huge fan of foldables since the Z Fold 2. I owned the 2, 4 and just bought the 5 a couple weeks ago for a couple hundred bucks to keep around and use as a WiFi-only device until the Apple version becomes appealing enough and/or goes down in price on the secondary market. I much prefer the squarish shape of Z Folds 1-7 over the “wide” format of the Z Fold 8 and upcoming iPhone.
 
Im so hyped, BUT...it depends on what price. If its over 2500 dollars....and if the Ipad Mini 8 and the Iphone 18 Pro Max do more for the same price or less, (Meaning pencil support, better cameras, etc...) it makes more sense to get those instead of the Ultra.

If combining both items cost me more then having both, and their are too many compromizes like lack of faceID, Magsafe, pencil support, better cameras, I rather have two seperate devices then one.

Im not a rich man. 2500 dollars upwards is a TON of money to me and im saving every penny i can for this phone, but it has to be worth it value wise.

Thats why i dont have an Apple Vision Pro. I want one SOOOO badly and if won a scratch of lotto ticket tonight id buy one tomarrow morning. But 3699 is an insane amount of money despite all it can do.

Same thing applys here. If it cost too much and has too many compromises, it makes more sense to get more functionality for less.
