| 11 Mar 2025 | Apple's iPhone Ultra Foldable w/ Guest Mark Gurman | 00:38:47 | |
Apple is making big moves, and the latest rumors suggest a foldable iPhone is on the way - possibly called the iPhone Ultra! With reports indicating that Apple is working on a book-style foldable design, this could be one of the most significant products in company history. We explore the rumors, including potential specs, design choices, and how Apple’s take on foldables may stand out from the competition with Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. Beyond the iPhone Ultra, Apple is also revamping its entire product lineup. From the latest iPad updates to upcoming MacBook changes, we analyze how Apple’s broader hardware strategy is evolving. Additionally, Apple Intelligence - a key component of the company’s AI push - has faced significant delays. Could this impact Apple’s competitive edge against companies like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI? On the software side, Apple is planning a massive redesign of iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 this year at WWDC to create a more unified experience. With changes inspired by visionOS, Apple’s approach to UI consistency could reshape how we interact with their devices. But is Apple merging its operating systems too aggressively, or is this the right move to future-proof its ecosystem?
