iPhone Ultra is coming: Three new features will be worth the wait

The Story At A Glance

• • Apple plans to unveil the iPhone Ultra, a foldable device, at a September 9 event.


• • The device features a book-style design with a 7.8-inch inner display and a return to Touch ID.


• • The premium flagship is expected to cost between $2,000 and $2,500.

Context
Apple is entering the foldable market seven years after competitors to offer a more mature hardware and software integration. The device aims for a high-end position using the A20 Pro chip and advanced cooling.

Christian Perspective
The push for more immersive, larger screens facilitates deeper immersion in digital distractions and secular ideologies. This technology risks further eroding the attention spans required for prayer and family engagement. Constant connectivity through such devices can subvert the natural order of presence within the home.

Implications
High-cost luxury tech reinforces a widening gap between the elite and the working class. Such devices can act as conduits for the cultural degeneracy found in social media and streaming. They provide more efficient tools for the digital surveillance and manipulation of the populace.
