[Expired]Apple Foldable iPhone Ultra Rendering Video Leaks
Original Deal
According to IT Home News on August 5, YouTube channel fpt. recently shared a new concept video of Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Ultra. Positioned at the very high end, the device is expected to officially launch in fall 2026.
📏 Design & Thickness Control
The iPhone Ultra adopts a horizontal book-style inward folding design. Thanks to the titanium body, its thinnest point when unfolded is only about 4.5 mm. Although it measures approximately 9.5 mm when folded — slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max — the engineering design significantly enhances durability.
⚙️ Display & Biometrics
The device features a 7.8-inch OLED inner display (120Hz) and a 5.5-inch outer screen. To optimize internal space, Apple has removed Face ID and instead adopted a Touch ID fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. The side of the device also features a new Camera Control button.
📊 Key Specs Comparison
| Specification | iPhone Ultra (estimated) | iPad mini (reference) |
| Inner display size | 7.8 inches | 8.3 inches |
| Processor | A20 Pro (2nm) | A17 Pro |
| RAM / Material | 12GB / Titanium | 8GB / Aluminum |
| Starting price | Approx. $1,999 | From $499 |
💻 Software & Ecosystem
The new device will be deeply integrated with iOS 27 (editor's note: the original system version number may contain a typo), supporting an exclusive "split-screen multitasking" feature that allows cross-app drag-and-drop and multi-window parallel operation. Additionally, the camera system features a 48MP main sensor paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens.
📅 Availability
The iPhone Ultra is expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series in fall 2026. Launch colors include black/gray, white/silver, and a new Dark Indigo finish. The standard iPhone 18 may be delayed until spring 2027.

: This is a bit... I've been using Pro Max until the year before last, when my bag got smaller and smaller, so I considered the Pro, but the battery wasn't great. Last year, I bought an Air, and I've probably turned it on less than 10 times in total. What am I supposed to do now? Do I have to buy a phone case with a strap or something... 这就是有点………一直用pro max 直到前年包越换越小，然后就考虑pro 可是电池不行，去年买了air，一共开机没10次，现在着咋整，难道要买个手机壳背带………
: If you think the battery isn't good enough, why did you still buy the Air??? 嫌电池不行还买air？？？
: 😂 Next up is the Ultra Pro, then the Ultra Pro Max, and the discontinued Infinity series, similar to the X. 😂 😂下一款 Ultra Pro ， 然后Ultra Pro Max， 断代的 类似X 的 Infinity 系列. 😂
: How much is it?![[吃瓜]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_chigua@2x.png?v=1)
Personally, I think 2,000 yuan for a phone is a bit... 多少钱![[吃瓜]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_chigua@2x.png?v=1)
个人觉得一个手机2千块 有点…
: At this price, I'd buy two iPhone Pros — one as my main phone, and one for sneaking around. 这价格 我愿意买两个iPhone pro 一个主力机一个偷情用
: So why not just get an Ultra and find a few open relationships instead, saving yourself the trouble of sneaking around? 那为何不买个ultra 直接找几个open relationship 还省的躲躲藏藏的
: Hold on tight, don't drop it! 拿稳了，千万别摔了
: Set the price higher to separate the customer segments. Those who can afford it won't mind the extra 1k or 2k. 价格放高一些 把人群分开。买得起的 不差那1k 2
: Well, to be fair, Apple has already become the budget option—it can even offer good value for money now![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
虽然但是，苹果已经算便宜货了，都可以有性价比了![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
: It feels so bulky, making it inconvenient to answer calls. Even when folded, the thickness and weight wouldn't be comfortable to hold, right? Maybe someone with larger hands could manage it 😂 感觉那么大，接电话都不方便呀。就算折叠起来接电话，那个厚度和重量也不适手吧，大手应该可以😂
: Broke! Can't afford it. 穷！买不起
: One device in hand, all your gaming and entertainment needs covered. 一機在手遊戲娛樂通通有
: So ugly, I'm speechless. 好丑，无语了
: Did the new system remove the frosted glass effect? 新的系统把毛玻璃删掉了吗？
:![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
Can't compete with the Pro, so now they're comparing it to the iPad Mini. I'm literally laughing. ![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
比不过 pro 开始比iPad mini 我真的笑了
: Saw the engineering prototype on YouTube,,,,,,,,,,,,, 油管上见到了工程机,,,,,,,,,,,,,
: Based on the current leaks, it's both ugly and overpriced. 从目前的爆料又丑又贵
: My guess is the actual price is 1999. 盲猜其实价格1999
: So the charging port is really on the left side? When you flip it open, the charging cable flips along with it. 所以充电口真的在左半边吗？翻开的时候充电线跟着一起翻。
: A must-buy, gaming feels amazing! 必须买，玩游戏爽！
: Even if it comes out, I'm not buying the first generation. 出了也不买第一代啊
: Excited! 期待！
: Please don't release it—foldable screens are really gimmicky and prone to breaking. 千万别出啊 折叠屏真的很鸡肋又容易坏
