What's Happening
A new concept render being shared online — credited to leaker network AppleTrack — shows Apple's rumoured first foldable iPhone in a deep Dark Blue finish, reviving speculation about the device's final colour lineup ahead of a rumoured September 2026 unveiling.
Apple has not confirmed the device, its name, or its specifications. Most recent reports refer to it as the iPhone Ultra, a shift from the earlier "iPhone Fold" nickname, positioning it as a new top-tier product line alongside the Apple Watch Ultra and Mac Ultra chips.
Camera-protector leaks from tipster Sonny Dickson previously pointed to two finishes: a darker shade closer to deep blue than black, and a lighter option leaning toward silver — which lines up closely with what this new render depicts.
Quick Facts
Design & Specs So Far Unconfirmed Leaks
Design & Build
Leaks describe a book-style foldable with a wide, "passport-like" footprint when closed rather than the tall, narrow shape used by most Android foldables. The frame is expected to combine titanium for rigidity with aluminium to keep weight down, and dummy units have reportedly shown a liquid-metal hinge designed to largely eliminate the visible crease seen on rival foldables.
Displays
Reports point to a roughly 7.6- to 7.8-inch inner OLED display in a near-square, tablet-like aspect ratio, paired with a smaller cover display around 5.5 inches for quick tasks when folded. When unfolded, the device is rumoured to measure about 4.5mm thick — thinner than Apple's own iPad Pro.
Cameras
Unlike the triple-camera setup on the Pro models, the foldable iPhone is expected to use a simpler dual rear-camera system, reportedly built around two 48MP sensors, to help keep the folded body slim. Selfie duties are rumoured to be split across an under-display camera and a separate punch-hole camera for video calls.
Authentication & Software
Rather than Face ID, leaks consistently point to a side-mounted Touch ID sensor built into the power button — a more practical fit for a device that changes shape when opened and closed. On the software side, iOS 27 beta code has referenced a "foldstate" and "angledegrees," suggesting the OS will actively adapt its layout based on how the device is folded.
Colours
Most Recently Leaked
- Dark Blue (shown in the latest render)
- Silver / White
Notably Missing
- Space Black — absent from current leaks, unlike other iPhone models
Apple's final colour lineup is still said to be under discussion internally, so this range could still change before an official announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the iPhone Ultra confirmed by Apple?
No. Apple hasn't confirmed the device, its name, specifications, or colours. Everything here is based on leaks, renders, and supply-chain reports.
Is Dark Blue the only colour it will come in?
No, leaks point to at least two launch colours — Dark Blue and a lighter Silver/White option. A Space Black option, common on other iPhones, hasn't shown up in leaks so far.
Why is it being called "iPhone Ultra" instead of "iPhone Fold"?
Early reports mostly used the nickname "iPhone Fold," but more recent leaks suggest Apple may position its first foldable as a new top-tier "Ultra" line, matching the naming used for the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple's Ultra-series chips.
How much will it cost?
Analyst estimates range from around $2,000 to $2,500, which would make it the most expensive iPhone Apple has released to date. No official price has been announced.
When will it launch?
Most current reports point to a September 2026 unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, though some supply-chain reports have suggested availability could slip slightly later.
