On a recent episode of The MacRumors Show, YouTuber Michael Fisher, known as MrMobile, discussed key rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming iPhone Ultra. Fisher, who has covered foldable phones since 2019, covered nearly every major device in the foldable phone category. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone Ultra alongside the iPhone 18 Pro in the fall, featuring a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch cover screen, the A20 chip, and a starting price above $2,000.
Design speculation suggests Apple will adopt a shorter, wider form factor, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 and older Pixel devices. The iPhone Ultra is rumored to use a layered glass display structure with a liquid metal hinge to minimize the crease that has plagued previous foldables. The device is expected to have just two rear lenses and no telephoto camera, unlike Samsung's Z Fold8 Ultra, which features a three-lens system with a 3x optical zoom.
Touch ID will be built into the side button instead of Face ID due to space constraints in the slim chassis.
Pricing speculation suggests the iPhone Ultra could cross the $2,000 threshold, making it Apple's most expensive iPhone ever. Durability concerns persist, given hinge failures in previous foldables and Samsung's current devices lacking a full dust resistance rating. Code strings in the iOS 27 beta suggest hinge angle support and new app adaptation protocols for the device.
