iPhone Fold: Everything we know about Apple’s Ultra foldable
Apple's first foldable iPhone arrives in 2026 with an A20 chip, dual 48MP cameras, and a $2,000 price tag.
The iPhone Fold, or the iPhone Ultra, is Apple's highly anticipated foldable device that is expected to be unveiled at the company's September 9, 2026 event. Apple has confirmed its September 9 launch event, which has become one of the most important consumer tech events. The iPhone Ultra is anticipated to join the two iPhone 18 Pro models at the launch event.
Although shipments for the iPhone Fold might not begin until December 2026, an announcement and arrival could be separated by almost three months, as reported by Nikkei Asia. Apple might keep the iPhone Ultra US-only at launch, with buyers in other markets potentially having to wait a few months. Sources largely agree that the starting price for the iPhone Fold will be between $2,000 and $2,500, with a potential range as low as $1,999.
The foldable iPhone will follow a book-style foldable design, featuring a wider form factor that resembles an iPad mini when unfolded. The inner screen is expected to have a 4:3 aspect ratio, which will enable side-by-side app multitasking and video consumption without black bars. The foldable's crease is reportedly being addressed through a dual-layer ultra-thin glass structure and a liquid metal hinge.
Apple is also reportedly considering a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button and a Camera Control button on the outer screen. The device is expected to measure around 4.5-4.8mm when unfolded and 9-9.5mm when folded.
