The Apple iPhone Fold ULTRA mockup presents an appealing 'booklet passport style' form factor that is notably more slender and potentially the thinnest iPhone when unfolded. This design, which is also pocketable, includes a Type-C port and improved display representation. However, the reviewer raises significant design concerns regarding the unusual corner placement of the front-facing cameras and the logistical challenges of integrating multiple cameras and displays in a compact space. Despite an improved feel, its one-handed usability is questioned, and video content might display with black bars, leading to some skepticism about specific design details.
“This booklet passport style form factor.”
“One thing I like about this particular model is how much thinner it got. This is now much thinner.”
“Just barely thicker than a 17 Pro. 9.18 mm over here. and on the Pro 8.8.”

iPhone Fold: How it looks in hand | IMPRESSIONS

Pros

  • Compact size when folded, allowing for one-handed operation.
  • Large unfolded screen with a size close to an iPad Mini.
  • Expected powerful Apple A20/A20 Pro processor.
  • 12 GB of RAM in every version of the device.
  • OLED display without a visible crease.

Cons

  • Very high predicted price for the device.
  • No slot for physical SIM cards (eSIM only).
  • No memory card slot.
  • Lack of a telephoto lens similar to base iPhones.

The iPhone Fold presents an innovative form factor, combining a compact folded size with a large unfolded screen similar to an iPad Mini, which the reviewer sees as a significant advantage. The device is expected to feature the new Apple A20/A20 Pro processor, 12 GB of RAM, and a crease-free OLED display, suggesting high performance and modern design.

However, the predicted price is extremely high, exceeding $2000, making it a premium product. Additionally, the lack of a physical SIM card slot and memory card slot might be a drawback for some users. Despite these shortcomings, the reviewer is very positive about the concept of this foldable phone.

“I know there will be skeptics because this device differs in appearance from the vast majority of foldable devices that have appeared so far. But personally, having used the first Fold for a year, I'm buying it. This is it for me.”
“in this passport form factor, we actually transition from a small screen, comfortably used with one hand, to a large screen that approaches the size of an iPad Mini. That's it, my friends.”
“there will definitely be no physical SIM card slots in this device. It will have eSIM, I'm sure of that.”
