iPhone Ultra Selfie Cameras in Same Corner?

With Apple's upcoming iPhone Ultra, there's been a lingering question over the exact placement of the selfie cameras in the device's folded and unfolded states. Dummy units suggested a top-centered cut-out on the outer display and a top-left corner cut-out on the inner display, an asymmetry untypical of Apple. However, screen protectors that surfaced online suggest both selfie cameras may be located in the same corner of the same half, with one facing out and one facing in.

This arrangement – two slightly offset lenses – could let Apple confine the cutouts and camera modules to a single region of a 4.5mm thick chassis, rather than having them spaced out. Such a design would fit a device where internal space is at a premium. Accessory makers work from leaked CAD files of sometimes dubious accuracy, so these screen protectors are not definitive evidence. Our reading assumes the dummy models had one camera placement correct and one incorrect.

The iPhone Ultra is expected next month, featuring a 5.5-inch cover display and 7.8-inch inner display, the A20 Pro chip, Touch ID integrated into the Side button in lieu of Face ID, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 48-megapixel dual rear camera system.
