The tech world has been speculating about a foldable iPhone for years. Recent rumors suggest that reality is much closer to home. A recent report gave us a realistic look at what the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max would look like in three of its colors. Now, the same source has shared images of a realistic dummy unit of the wide iPhone Ultra, offering the most realistic design look yet at Apple‘s first foldable phone.
iPhone Ultra bets on a wide design
These new images also come from tech insider Jon Rettinger on his Threads account. They reflect the expected radical departure from current smartphone shapes. Unlike the tall, narrow cover screens found on many current market foldables, Apple appears to be opting for a significantly wider form factor. When folded shut, this extra width creates a highly compact, passport-like footprint. This design choice allows you to use the outer display for most daily tasks without feeling cramped, and it is easily pocketable.
However, the real magic happens when you open the device. Unfolding the iPhone Ultra will transition the interface into a spacious, “mini-tablet” experience. This squarish, expansive canvas aims to bridge the gap between the traditional iPhone and the iPad Mini, optimized heavily for multitasking, media consumption, and running multiple apps side-by-side without compromising on workspace.
Huawei already launched a foldable device with this wide form factor in April. So, you can take a look at it to get an idea of what to expect from Apple’s one.
The Ultra branding strategy
Choosing the “Ultra” moniker for their first foldable aligns with Apple’s current tiering strategy across the Apple Watch and chip lineups. Plus, the wider screen aspect ratio seems focused on solving the classic foldable issue of awkward, overly narrow outer screens. If this dummy model accurately reflects final production plans, the iPhone Ultra will offer a highly comfortable typing and viewing experience when closed, alongside an uncompromised productivity powerhouse when open.
