In April of this year, reports surfaced indicating that Apple’s inaugural foldable smartphone, the iPhone Ultra (also referred to as the iPhone Fold), had commenced its trial production phase at Foxconn. Trial production stands as a pivotal stage preceding formal mass production, encompassing essential steps such as engineering verification, design verification, and production trial verification. Recently, technology blogger 'Dingjiao Digital' disclosed that the iPhone Ultra has indeed encountered hurdles during its trial production, remaining in the EVT (Engineering Verification Test) phase. Presently, Apple lacks a fully developed mass-production model internally, and the 'real device hands-on images' circulating online are all generated by AI. The model is slated for release this autumn, boasting an inner screen size of roughly 7.8 inches and an outer screen of 5.5 inches. It will be driven by Apple’s proprietary A20 Pro chip, crafted using TSMC’s cutting-edge 2-nanometer process, and paired with the second-generation in-house baseband C2. The imaging system will feature front-facing cameras for both the inner and outer screens, complemented by dual rear cameras. Battery capacity is projected to range between 5400 and 5800 mAh. Despite the setback in mass production, Apple remains steadfast in its autumn release strategy, anticipating that the model will deliver an entirely novel experience to users.
