Apple is preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market with a new device rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra. Leaker Sonny Dickson recently shared what he describes as the closest-to-reality design model of this upcoming product. The device represents Apple's first attempt at a foldable phone, marking a significant shift in the company's hardware strategy.
Leaked design model reveals foldable details
The rumored iPhone Ultra features a dual-screen folding design. The outer cover display measures 5.5 inches, while the inner unfolded screen expands to 7.8 inches. This configuration allows the device to function as a compact phone when closed and a small tablet when open.
Specifications
- Color: White
- Cover Display Size: 5.5-inch
- Inner Display Size: 7.8-inch
- Processor: 2nm A20 Pro SoC
- Camera System: Dual-cam system (no telephoto)
Under the hood, the device is expected to run on a 2nm A20 Pro system-on-chip. The camera system reportedly includes a dual-camera setup that lacks a telephoto lens. Apple is also expected to introduce its first perfectly round punch-hole selfie cutout or a smaller Dynamic Island on the cover screen.
Hardware specs and launch timeline emerge
Dickson noted that the selfie camera cutout design is not yet finalized and could go either way. The tipster also stated that white is the only color option for the foldable iPhone, though this aligns with broader rumors of a single-color launch strategy. The device is expected to launch globally in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series.
This announcement follows years of speculation regarding Apple's entry into the foldable segment. Previous reports have hinted at various form factors, but this design model suggests a vertical fold similar to existing Android competitors. The focus on a single color and specific internal specs indicates Apple is refining its prototype before mass production.
Confirmed details remain limited to the leak shared by Dickson. The device will feature a 5.5-inch cover and 7.8-inch inner display. It will use a 2nm A20 Pro SoC and a dual-camera system. The launch is targeted for September.
