Apple is unveiling the iPhone Ultra, a 4.5mm foldable flagship that dares to remove Face ID.

The episode begins by framing the iPhone Ultra as a major shift in the smartphone industry, marking Apple's entry into the foldable market. The host notes that Apple has been absent from recent product news but is now poised to unveil this flagship device. Technical details are provided, including a thickness of 4.5mm when unfolded, a fold line depth of 0.15mm using liquid metal design, and a battery capacity of 5,800 mAh. The host explains that Apple is not the first to introduce foldable technology, with Chinese and South Korean competitors already in the market, but aims to perfect it. Engineering challenges are discussed, such as the need to eliminate Face ID due to space constraints, leading to the return of Touch ID. The camera system is expected to include a 48-megapixel main lens but omit the telephoto lens because of the thin design. The episode highlights the use of 3D printing for components, a technology Apple has previously employed in products like the iPhone Air. Power is supplied by the A20 Pro chip on a 2nm architecture, paired with 12GB RAM for multitasking and AI. A key innovation is the C2 modem chip, Apple's first in-house modem, developed after years of reliance on Qualcomm. The host connects this to broader themes of digital infrastructure and connectivity. The episode includes a sponsor message from CURSE, a provider of fiber and data center services. Pricing is speculated to start at $2,000, positioning the iPhone Ultra as a premium product to elevate Apple's brand value. The host concludes by emphasizing that the iPhone Ultra represents years of research and development, not just a simple update, and encourages listeners to follow the podcast on various platforms.
