iPhone Ultra Becomes Apple First Foldable Phone, Here Are the Leaked Specifications and Price
Technology-Portfolio.Net - Apple is reportedly preparing its first foldable iPhone, said to be called the iPhone Ultra. This device will feature a new design that differs from current iPhones.
Apple foldable iPhone is still referred to by two names, namely iPhone Fold and iPhone Ultra. Apple has not confirmed the official name or the existence of this device.
Rumors about a foldable iPhone have been circulating for more than a decade. Apple is said to have developed a number of prototypes to find a suitable design.
One of the main changes is in the display. The iPhone Ultra is expected to have an outer display measuring around 5.5 inches and an inner display measuring around 7.8 inches.
When unfolded, the inner display is expected to be close in size to the iPad mini's display.
Apple is also reportedly preparing a display design that reduces the appearance of the crease. Several reports say Samsung Display could potentially become the panel supplier for the device.
On the camera front, the iPhone Ultra is rumored to have only two rear cameras. The configuration is expected to consist of a main camera and an ultrawide camera.
The front camera on the inner display is also said to be placed under the display, while the outer display will use a punch-hole camera.
Apple is also said to be preparing Touch ID on the side button. Face ID is projected to be absent because the space inside the device's body is more limited.
Latest Price Rumors
For performance, the iPhone Ultra is highly likely to use the A20 Pro chip, built using a 2-nanometer process.
The rumored storage options consist of 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB. Apple is also said to be preparing the C2 modem for cellular connectivity.
The price of the iPhone Ultra has become one of the most widely discussed aspects. Various reports compiled by AppleInsider estimate that the device will be priced starting at $2.000 USD and could reach $3.000 USD.
That price could make the iPhone Ultra one of Apple's most expensive iPhones.
When Will It Launch On the Market?
As for the launch schedule, reports circulating are still conflicting. Some sources say the foldable iPhone will be introduced in September 2026, while other reports estimate that sales will only begin some time after the iPhone 18 Pro.
