The Return of Touch ID on iPhone Ultra


Listen Later

The upcoming high-end foldable device, often described as a hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet, represents a significant departure from traditional mobile architecture. Designed with a "book-style" form factor, it features a wider-than-tall passport shape that emphasizes productivity and a large, pocketable workspace.Design and Display The device is characterized by an exceptionally thin profile, measuring between 4.5mm and 4.8mmwhen unfolded. When closed, it is approximately 9mm to 11mm thick. It utilizes a titanium and aluminum frame for structural integrity and durability in its slim chassis. A primary technical highlight is the near-creaseless inner display, achieved through a specialized dual-layer ultra-thin glass sandwich and a custom liquid metal hinge designed to be significantly stronger than titanium.The hardware includes two screens: an outer display measuring approximately 5.3 to 5.5 inches and a larger 7.8-inch internal display when opened. This inner screen features a 4:3 aspect ratio, effectively offering a canvas similar to a mini tablet.Biometrics and Controls To maintain its ultra-thin profile, the device removes the traditional facial recognition sensor array. Instead, it marks the return of Touch ID, with a physical fingerprint sensor integrated directly into the side-mounted power button. Mechanical layouts have also shifted; the volume controls have migrated to the top edge of the frame to accommodate the hinge assembly on the left rail.Camera System The photographic capabilities involve a total of four cameras. The rear array features two 48-megapixel sensors—a main wide lens and an ultra-wide lens
