Rumored — not yet announced. Apple has not confirmed Apple iPhone Ultra (foldable) or any specification on this page. Everything below is drawn from leaker and analyst reporting, cited to its original source in our news coverage. Last updated 2026-08-26; this page will be rebuilt with confirmed specs once Apple officially announces the device.
Apple iPhone Ultra (foldable)
Expected to announce September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication) · Expected release Unclear — one report suggests Apple may unveil without an immediate on-sale date
What's rumored so far
Apple's first foldable iPhone, reportedly settling on the name "iPhone Ultra" after earlier "iPhone Fold" framing. Book-style design with a ~7.6-7.8" inner display and ~5.3-5.5" cover screen, reportedly solving the crease problem other foldables haven't. Real trade-offs: no Face ID (side-button Touch ID instead), no telephoto lens. One recent report claims Apple may show it in September without releasing it to market immediately, citing supply and testing problems. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
The book-style form factor and September announcement timing are well-corroborated across Bloomberg, MacRumors, and CNET, backed by a real supply-chain signal (prototype units reportedly sent to carriers for network certification). The crease-depth figures (under 0.15mm) and the "announce without releasing" claim are each single-sourced (one leaked spec sheet; one Australian outlet via Forbes) — genuinely interesting if true, but treat with more caution than the broader form-factor consensus. Pricing remains the least settled figure on this page, with estimates that have narrowed over the past year but still span a real range.

Rumored specifications
Every row below is unconfirmed. Where sources disagree, we've noted the disagreement in the note rather than presenting one figure as settled.
Display
Inner (unfolded)
7.6–7.8 inches, one leak specifying 7.76" at 2,713×1,920 (rumored)
Cover (folded)
5.3–5.5 inches, one leak specifying 2,088×1,422 at 4:3 (rumored)
Crease
Under 0.15mm depth, under 2.5° fold angle claimed (rumored)Single-sourced leaked spec sheet — for comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series sits closer to 0.3mm. If accurate, a genuine differentiator; treat the exact figures with some caution given the single source.
Design
Form factor
Book-style fold (settled after years of Apple reportedly testing a clamshell alternative)
Thickness
4.5–4.8mm unfolded (rumored)Would make it one of the thinnest iPhones Apple has sold
Frame
Titanium and aluminum combination (rumored)
Biometrics
Side-button Touch ID, no Face IDWould make it the first new iPhone without Face ID since the third-gen iPhone SE (2022) — a real trade-off for the thin form factor
Camera
Rear
48MP + 48MP, no telephoto lens (rumored)Same simplification trade-off Apple already made on the iPhone Air
Front
18MP on both cover and inner displays (rumored)
Performance
Chipset
Apple A20 Pro (rumored)Same chip expected in the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max
Modem
Apple C2, no Qualcomm silicon at all (rumored)Would be a first for a modern flagship iPhone
Battery
Capacity
~4,883mAh (rumored)
Availability
Announcement vs. release
One report claims Apple may unveil in September without an immediate on-sale dateSingle-sourced (Australian outlet ChannelNews, via Forbes, citing a Chinese component supplier) — a materially bigger claim than ordinary limited-stock-at-launch reporting, so flagged as less certain than the rest of this page
Manufacturing
Mass production reportedly targeted for Q3/Q4 2026
