According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the foldable iPhone Ultra is expected to support MagSafe charging, despite not initially having a MagSafe ring in its prototype models. Leaked cases for the device did feature a MagSafe ring, making the exact functionality uncertain. Gurman believes MagSafe is likely to be included, citing Apple's ability to incorporate it into the more compact iPhone Air.

The foldable iPhone Ultra, rumored to be ultra-thin at 4.5mm when open, would not require Face ID hardware and is said to use Touch ID instead. Other alleged features include a $2,000+ price tag, a 5.5-inch outer display when closed, and a 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded. The device would have a passport-style design, the latest Apple modem (likely C2), the latest Apple chip (A20 Pro), and cameras with wide and ultra-wide lenses but no telephoto lens.

Apple has made efforts to ensure apps resize automatically for various display sizes. Gurman expects Apple to unveil the foldable iPhone Ultra alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models at its "Surprise and Shine" event on September 9, dismissing the notion of significant delays or supply chain issues.
