Apple’s Foldable iPhone Has an Identity Problem — Is It a Phone or an iPad?

Apple is reportedly working on a foldable "iPhone Ultra" for 2026, featuring a 7.8-inch inner display that transforms it from a phone into a tablet.

While combining phone portability with a larger workspace sounds impressive, it leaves the device in an awkward spot between an iPhone and an iPad mini—complete with an iPad-like 4:3 screen ratio and tweaked iOS multitasking tools.

Making the device super slim might come with real trade-offs. Rumors suggest Apple could drop Face ID and a telephoto lens to save space.

Paired with an expected $2,000 to $2,500 price tag, paying top dollar for fewer hardware features could be a tough sell. Ultimately, Apple’s success here won't just hinge on smooth hardware, but on software that makes this device feel like a genuine leap forward rather than an over-priced compromise.

We're keeping a close eye on how this unfolds!
