While the long-awaited foldable iPhone has often been referred to as the iPhone Ultra or the iPhone Fold in rumors, another name making the rounds is iPhone Duo.

Rumors surrounding the next-generation iPhone have led to the emergence of two potential names: iPhone Ultra and iPhone Duo. While the foldable iPhone is often called the iPhone Ultra, another possibility being discussed is the iPhone Duo. Apple has previously used Duo branding for its PowerBook Duo laptops in the 1990s and MagSafe Duo Charger in the early 2020s.
However, the name Duo could refer to the foldable iPhone's dual screens. Competing devices like Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8 use Ultra branding, which Apple has also employed for various products like the Apple Watch Ultra and M1 Ultra chips. An unnamed source familiar with Apple's plans told former Macworld reporter Filipe Espósito that the foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Ultra, though Apple employees within the company have informally referred to it as the iPhone Ultra.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has also heard the device referred to internally as the iPhone Ultra but has not officially reported it as the official name. Apple is set to unveil its foldable iPhone at an upcoming event, and the world will soon learn whether the device adopts the name iPhone Ultra, iPhone Fold, iPhone Duo, or something entirely different.
