The latest iPhone Ultra rumors and leaks: Everything we know about Apples first foldable
The latest iPhone Ultra rumors and leaks point toward a wide design, very impressive display, and massive battery.
The foldable iPhone, rumored to be the iPhone Ultra, remains the biggest open secret in Silicon Valley. Apple kept tight control over its unveiling until the release of the iOS 27 developer beta, which contained references to the device. Early adopters have embraced foldables, but Apple has been absent from the market. However, Apple has a history of entering a crowded field and dominating it, such as with AirPods and iPhones.
The iPhone Ultra is expected to be announced at the September 2026 iPhone launch event, with potential shipments beginning in December. A tech analyst suggested shipments could start in December, while another report indicated availability in the U.S. shortly after launch, with other markets possibly getting it later. Early iOS 27 beta insights reveal features like widgets that can occupy most of the display, split-view for dual-screen apps, and a Device Hub for simulating apps in various screen configurations.
The Ultra is rumored to have a book-style design with four cameras, Touch ID, and potentially wider dimensions than competing foldables.
