Apple wanted the iPhone Ultra to cost $1,999, new report says - GSMArena.com news GSMArena.com See more headlines & perspectives on Google News
Apple is holding its big annual iPhone launch event on September 9 , and it's widely expected to unveil the iPhone Ultra on that day. This will be its first foldable smartphone, and it's been a very long time coming. According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company has practically been working on it for a decade.
Interestingly, Apple wanted the iPhone Ultra to cost $1,999, but it got hit by the memory chip shortage and insane price hikes, so now it's probably going to come out starting at $2,199. However, the top configuration (presumably with 1TB of storage) might go as high as $3,000.
The report also tells us to expect a practically invisible crease, as well as a titanium and aluminum hinge system, some custom cover glass developed in partnership with Corning, and construction quality that Apple reportedly believes is "industry-leading" for the foldable market.
The iPhone Ultra is once again said to come with a 7.8" folding screen and a 5.5" cover display. Unfolded, its proportions should "resemble those of a Magic Trackpad", while folded it should be about the size of a passport.
