Rumors about Apple’s New Foldable iPhone Emerge
With Apple’s first foldable iPhone set to come out sometime in 2026, the rumors are starting to be more serious. The device is reportedly in mass production now but may miss its planned September launch mainly because of some technical issues during manufacturing. Recently, we got our first leaked images of what might be the new iPhone Fold, or maybe it’s called iPhone Ultra, according to some sources from Weibo.
Design Highlights and Leak Details
This info was shared by X users Sonny Dickson and Ahmad Ansari. As earlier leaks suggested, this foldable isn’t the usual kind you’d expect. While it has a book-style fold similar to the Galaxy Z Fold7, its two screens are actually smaller, more like the Galaxy Z Flip7. On its back, there are two camera modules placed side by side. The camera bump looks very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, with the typical protruding bump and all the aesthetic details.
Unusual Placement of Buttons and Future Considerations
A notable design choice is the positioning of the volume buttons—they’re awkwardly placed at the top edge instead of the sides, making them less convenient. This might be due to space limitations on the sides, which are already used by the power button and other action buttons. For users interested in a regular-sized screen, they might still prefer standard iPhones or other Android foldables that offer easier access to essential buttons.
Leaked Images of Future iPhones
Additionally, there are leaked images of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro. Both models look very similar to their previous versions, suggesting Apple is sticking with a familiar aesthetic for its premium lines. However, these images are just prototypes, and Apple might change some features before the final release.
