Apple’s first foldable iPhone could be unveiled at a reported September 9 event, according to preliminary information that remains unconfirmed by Apple. The device is referred to as the iPhone Ultra in the report, with pre-orders said to be possible as early as September 11 or 12. No official pricing, regional rollout plan or final product name has been announced.
The claimed handset would measure 4.5 mm thick when unfolded and 9.2 mm when closed, using an ultra-thin alloy chassis. Its internal 7.76-inch LTPO OLED folding display is said to support a 120Hz refresh rate and use flexible, self-healing glass intended to reduce the visibility of the crease. A 5.49-inch outer display would reportedly be covered by Ceramic Shield glass.
Reported hardware includes Apple’s unannounced A20 Pro chipset, 12GB of RAM and storage configurations from 256GB to 2TB. The thin design is said to use a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for unlocking, while the inner display would include a selfie camera.
The rear camera system is described as a dual 48-megapixel setup, pairing a stabilized wide camera with a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Other claimed features include 4K video at up to 120fps with ProRes support, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, stereo speakers and MagSafe wireless charging. White and black are the only colors mentioned, but Apple’s announcement will need to confirm the specifications, name and availability.
