iPhone Ultra rumors: Everything you need to know about the foldable iPhone

Apple is rumored to be preparing its first foldable phone, the iPhone Ultra, for a late 2026 release. This could be a turning point for the foldable phone category, which has remained relatively small for nearly a decade, and challenge Samsung's dominance in the space. The iPhone Ultra is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max during the September Apple event, with supply potentially limited initially due to rumored high pricing.

The iPhone Ultra is expected to have a passport-style design, shorter and wider than traditional book-style foldables. It may feature no crease, dual rear cameras, Touch ID, and a 7.8-inch display, potentially half an inch smaller than the iPad mini 7. The device is rumored to be made of titanium and aluminum, making it thin and lightweight, possibly as thin as 4.5mm when open and between 9 and 9.5mm when closed.

Apple is expected to skip Face ID in favor of Touch ID on the power button, similar to cheaper iPad models. The phone may be available in muted colors such as black, dark gray, silver, or white, with a possible Deep Blue variant. Speculation around the device's price ranges between $2,400 and $2,500, despite earlier estimates of $2,000.
