The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is anticipated to be a photography powerhouse, while the foldable iPhone, potentially dubbed "iPhone Ultra," will focus on its novel form factor. Hosts on the latest AppleInsider Podcast discuss these devices alongside the intensifying AI competition.

While Apple's September event will highlight premium iPhone models, details about the foldable remain under debate, with "iPhone Ultra" emerging as a rumored internal codename. The podcast also touches on OpenAI's mysterious new hardware, reportedly priced at over $300 and similar in size to an Alexa Dot, and the potential costs associated with Apple Intelligence features.

Listeners can subscribe to Apple Insider+ for extended discussions, including analysis on what defines an "Ultra" product and whether Apple's foldable can live up to that designation. The show also briefly mentions other tech news, such as RAM shortages affecting MacBook Air availability and the need for ethical AI leadership.
