Apple urged to drop 'iPhone Ultra' name for foldable device

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Forbes contributor Ewan Spence argues that Apple should reconsider using the 'iPhone Ultra' moniker for its upcoming foldable smartphone. Spence points out that Apple has historically reserved the 'Ultra' designation for more rugged or specialized products like the Apple Watch Ultra and M-Ultra chipsets, rather than mainstream consumer flagships. He suggests that adopting 'iPhone Ultra' for the foldable device could lead to search engine results being cluttered with past speculation and unfavorable comparisons to Android competitors, potentially hindering the new product's launch.
