Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone is coming very soon<\/a>, and based on rumors about the product, it sounds very much deserving of the \u2018iPhone Ultra\u2019 name. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n Software experience, more than hardware specs, will justify \u2018iPhone Ultra\u2019 name<\/p>\n When Apple launches a brand new product, it\u2019s always fun to speculate what the name might be. The foldable iPhone has commonly been called \u2018iPhone Fold,\u2019 but I\u2019ve long believed Apple will go a different naming direction, like iPhone Ultra<\/a> or iPhone Duo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rumors indicate<\/a> iPhone Ultra will be the name. And while I was initially unsure how \u2018Ultra\u2019-worthy the device will be, I now think Apple\u2014and new CEO John Ternus\u2014will have a strong pitch.<\/p>\n My main arguments against the Ultra name involve hardware features. iPhone Ultra will lack the Telephoto camera that iPhone 18 Pro offers, and battery life might be worse than iPhone 18 Pro Max. Justifying \u2018Ultra\u2019 when certain features don\u2019t match the \u2018Pro\u2019 line seems tough.<\/p>\n But the more I\u2019ve thought about it, the more \u2018Ultra\u2019 feels right for the foldable. <\/p>\n That\u2019s in large part because of the software experience iPhone Ultra will provide.<\/p>\n iPhone Ultra will offer the largest screen ever on an iPhone. That will make it excellent for all the things people love doing with their iPhones today:<\/p>\n video<\/p>\n social media<\/p>\n games<\/p>\n productivity<\/p>\n Landscape layouts in apps<\/a> will feel great on iPhone Ultra. And you\u2019ll be able to multitask with side-by-side apps<\/a> too.<\/p>\n At the same time, the device will be compact and fit nicely in a pocket. And for messaging, checking notifications, and other quick tasks, the outer display will be great.<\/p>\n I\u2019m excited by the keyboard typing experience too. Having a wide outer display should make it easier to type accurately, with less frustration over typos.<\/p>\n Essentially, iPhone Ultra will take the core experience of using an iPhone and make it feel \u2018Ultra.\u2019 Bigger, better, and more capable.<\/p>\n That, more than any individual hardware specs, should make the new product truly deserving of the Ultra name.<\/p>\n What do you think of Apple using \u2018iPhone Ultra\u2019 for the foldable?
