Apple’s first foldable iPhone, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut in September at a starting price above $2,000, or roughly Rs. 1.96 lakh. The book-style device could feature a 2nm A20 Pro chip, at least 12GB RAM and a 5,500mAh battery. Initial availability may be limited to the US.
Apple is finally entering the foldable phone segment, years after rivals like Samsung established themselves in the category. The device, widely expected to be branded the iPhone Ultra, marks a significant shift for the company as it adapts its design philosophy to a folding form factor for the first time. With Samsung already on its eighth-generation Galaxy Fold and other brands competing aggressively in the space, Apple's foldable debut is expected to be one of the most closely watched product launches of the year.
iPhone Ultra: Design expectations
The iPhone Ultra is widely tipped to follow a book-style folding format, similar to the recently unveiled Galaxy Z Fold 8 as well as first-generation folding devices from Google and Microsoft. Reports suggest Apple will aim for a sleeker profile than these devices, drawing design cues from the iPhone Air rather than opting for a chunkier build. The crease along the folding display is expected to be a key area of focus, with Apple reportedly relying on Samsung's panel expertise to minimise or potentially eliminate the crease altogether, an achievement most foldable makers have struggled to fully deliver despite improvements to hinge mechanisms.
