Apple is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone, dubbed the 'iPhone Ultra,' on September 9, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models.111
The device has been in development for over a decade and aims to compete in a market currently led by Samsung and Google.2
The foldable iPhone is expected to feature a titanium frame for durability and an A20 chip built on TSMC's 2nm process, which is 18% faster and 30% more efficient than its predecessor, the A19 chip.56789
With a base price estimated between $2,000 and $2,500, the iPhone Ultra will reportedly have a 5.5-inch display when folded and 7.8 inches when unfolded, offering an iPad-like experience.10
The device is rumored to have a dual rear-camera setup with a 48MP main and 48MP ultra-wide camera, and a 24MP selfie camera on the outer display. Notably, it may feature Touch ID integrated into the power button, as it is too thin to accommodate Face ID.
Additionally, the foldable iPhone is expected to house a 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh battery, the largest ever in an iPhone, and may introduce a next-generation C2 modem for mmWave 5G connectivity.
