New iPhone Fold leaks cover ‘Ultra’ name, launch timing, more

Leaks say Apple’s foldable will use Touch ID, a dual 48-megapixel camera system and a price above $2,000.

  • Apple's first foldable device, rumored to be called the Ultra, has entered a new testing stage preceding mass production. The book-style device features a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel and a 5.5-inch outer display.
  • To achieve a 4.5mm thickness—Apple's thinnest iPhone ever—the device replaced the TrueDepth system with a side-button Touch ID module. Space constraints also limit the camera to a dual 48-megapixel system, eliminating the telephoto lens.
  • Apple has increased foldable display inventory by 20% with initial stock of 11 million units, signaling confidence in demand. Pricing is expected to start at over $2,000, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.
  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman dismissed a Nikkei report claiming a 2027 delay, stating the device is "on track" for launch this year. Production lines are in final processing stages, with potential for only a one-month postponement even if delays occur.
  • Analyst Mark Gurman described the foldable as the "most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history," positioning Apple to capture over 22% unit share of the niche foldables market in its first year. The high price and limited segment constrain broader impact.
