If the photo is authentic, it is undoubtedly the first time Apple has changed the iconic “Dynamic Island” capsule form.
As you can see, the iPhone Ultra features an in-display camera (punch-hole style) in the top-left corner; Apple opted for strict symmetry by aligning the cameras—the main one is in the top-left corner, while the camera for the secondary screen is located in the top-right.

Apple’s first time! The front of iPhone Ultra is indistinguishable from Android, but the side fingerprint recognition returns
Since the iPhone X entered the full-screen design in 2017, Apple has continued to provide a completely different user experience from the Android camp. In order to install the Face ID 3D facial recognition module, Apple has gone through many evolutions from bangs screen to pill screen.
However, this iconic design that has persisted for nearly a decade may come to an end on Apple’s first foldable phone, iPhone Ultra. In order to achieve the ultimate thin and light design, the thickness of iPhone Ultra is compressed to 4.5 mm on one side after unfolding.
In such a limited internal space, it is technically extremely difficult to fit a complex Face ID module into the inner and outer screens respectively; Apple is not allowed to make design compromises in the internal space of your device, and then abandon the Face ID function and use a side fingerprint recognition solution.
This is also the first high-end iPhone not equipped with Face ID since the iPhone X was launched. Due to the cancellation of the Face ID module, the iPhone Ultra does have some reasons to abandon the iconic pill screen for many years, that is, the dynamic island solution, so it adopts a single-hole front-facing solution similar to the Android camp.
The front camera of the inner screen is located in the upper right corner, and the front camera of the outer screen is placed in the top center. The front shape is almost the same as the current Android flagship. From the bangs to the pill, to the single punch hole exposed by netizens, the iPhone Ultra has indeed made rare design choices for the shape of the folding screen. But whether this is actually the case remains to be seen at Apple’s press conference next week.
