Apple's first foldable iPhone may miss Face ID and telephoto camera: What to expect

Apple is rumored to be preparing to unveil its first foldable iPhone, potentially named the iPhone Ultra. This device is expected to have a large, tablet-like screen when unfolded, costing over $2,000 and representing a significant redesign of the iPhone. However, reports indicate that this foldable model might lack Face ID and a dedicated telephoto camera. Instead, it may use Touch ID via a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The decision to exclude Face ID may be due to the need for a thinner design, which would not accommodate the TrueDepth camera system. Additionally, the foldable is expected to have a dual-screen design, offering a larger inner display for multimedia and productivity tasks, while maintaining a smaller outer screen for basic functions. Apple is also reportedly working on improving the hinge mechanism to minimize the visibility of the fold.
