Analyst Backs iPhone 18 Pro Max Over $2,500 iPhone Ultra

Summary
$2,500 pricing and a rumored dual-camera setup leave the foldable iPhone Ultra trailing the iPhone 18 Pro Max in the analyst’s early comparison.
5,567 mAh versus 4,883 mAh is the key hardware gap cited, with the Pro Max expected to turn its larger battery and single 6.9-inch screen into stronger endurance.
7.8-inch foldable real estate still gives the Ultra its clearest edge, potentially enabling side-by-side multitasking and easier one-handed use on its narrower outer display.
A shared A20 Pro chip means performance should be similar, so the decision may hinge on whether iOS 27 fixes foldable app scaling and layout issues ahead of Apple’s rumored September 9 event.
