Udaipur, April 8, 2026 (Read): Fresh leaks around Apple’s foldable smartphone suggest that the company may introduce its first foldable device under the name “iPhone Ultra.” While Apple has not made any official announcement so far, the latest claim has generated significant buzz in the tech space.
According to a well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple’s first foldable iPhone could carry the Ultra branding. Though the company has not confirmed the name, the claim aligns with current industry trends, where several brands are positioning their premium foldable devices under the “Ultra” tag.
The tipster has also indicated that the device may feature a wide foldable design. This means the main display could be broader compared to conventional foldable smartphones. Such a design approach is already being discussed in the industry, where wider foldable screens are gaining attention.
In comparison, devices like the Huawei Pura X2 are also in the spotlight, with reports suggesting a 7.69-inch WQHD+ main display and a 5.5-inch outer display. The device is expected to come with the Kirin 9030 series chipset and improvements in telephoto camera capabilities.
As for the launch timeline, no confirmed date has been shared yet. However, ongoing rumours over the past few months indicate that Apple’s foldable iPhone could arrive around mid-2026.
The device is drawing attention as it is expected to mark Apple’s entry into the foldable smartphone segment. Industry watchers are keen to see how Apple differentiates its foldable offering. If launched under the Ultra branding, the device is likely to target the premium segment with top-end features and pricing.
Foldable smartphones are increasingly emerging as a new premium category, and competition in this space is expected to intensify further in the coming years.
