Apple may be preparing its biggest iPhone redesign in years, with reports suggesting that its first foldable smartphone — tentatively called the iPhone Ultra — could debut in 2026.
A newly leaked video of a dummy unit has offered the clearest glimpse yet of the device, generating excitement among Apple enthusiasts ahead of any official announcement.
Leaked Video Reveals Slim Foldable Design
The latest leak follows earlier images of a white iPhone Ultra prototype. The video showcases the device from multiple angles and highlights what appears to be an ultra-thin design. According to previous reports, the foldable iPhone could measure just 4.5mm when fully unfolded.
One notable detail is the placement of the volume buttons, which seem to be positioned on the top edge of the device. While this aligns with earlier rumours, industry watchers caution that the leaked model is only a design dummy and may not accurately reflect the final product.
The leak comes shortly after design models of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro surfaced online, revealing possible colour options. Since Apple is expected to unveil the foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, more detailed leaks could emerge in the coming months.
Expected Specifications
Reports suggest the iPhone Ultra will be positioned as a premium flagship device. It is expected to feature:
- 5.5-inch outer display
- 7.8-inch foldable OLED inner display
- A20 Pro chipset based on TSMC’s advanced 2nm process
- 12GB RAM
- Titanium and aluminium frame
- Crease-free hinge mechanism
- Side-mounted Touch ID sensor
Launch Timeline And Price
The foldable iPhone is widely expected to launch in September 2026, although Apple could opt for a phased release in select markets.
Pricing is likely to start at around $2,000 (approximately Rs 2 lakh), making it one of the most expensive iPhones ever launched. While Apple has yet to confirm the device, the latest leaks suggest the company is moving closer to entering the foldable smartphone segment.
