Android Authority Writer Says iPhone Ultra Could Win Him Over With These Features

The writer says he is not looking for Apple to copy Samsung or Google, but rather to solve some of the biggest problems with current foldables. Among his hopes is a truly crease-free inner display. He notes that while newer Android foldables have reduced the visibility of the crease, it remains noticeable in bright light and under the finger. He suggests that Apple's rumored use of dual ultra-thin glass could help make the crease disappear, which would make the iPhone Ultra stand out immediately.

Another key request is proper multitasking, not just basic split-screen. The writer says a large foldable display should allow flexible windowing, floating apps, and easy drag-and-drop between applications. He points to recent iPadOS updates as possible experiments that could lead to a more powerful multitasking experience on a folding iPhone.

The writer also stresses that Apple should not compromise on camera hardware. He argues that most Android foldables have smaller sensors and less capable telephoto lenses compared to their standard flagship counterparts. He says he wants a large primary sensor, strong low-light performance, and a proper periscope telephoto camera in the iPhone Ultra, even though fitting the full iPhone 18 Pro camera system into a foldable may be difficult.
