You know the rumored foldable iPhone that’s been the subject of countless leaks and discussions this past year? Recent coverage from Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech suggests we should stop calling it the “iPhone Fold.” According to Prosser, Apple intends to brand the device iPhone Ultra. He says the debut is planned for September and that Apple will release only three iPhone models in 2026: the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Ultra.
This latest video from Prosser is separate from the set of renders he released on Christmas Eve. Those earlier images focused heavily on design details; this new presentation aims to put the device in context. Prosser explains why the Ultra name aligns with Apple’s existing product naming across other lines, and he discusses hardware features and several specification points that have been circulating among supply chain sources and industry observers.
One notable hardware detail mentioned is the crease depth on the inner folding display. Prosser reports the crease measures roughly 0.15mm, which would represent measurable improvement compared with many current foldable phones. While Apple has reportedly not eliminated the crease entirely, the company is said to be relying on a liquid metal hinge and a metal pressure plate to reduce its visibility and to improve the fold’s overall feel and durability.
Camera configuration is another area Prosser addresses. He confirms a total of four cameras: two on the rear, one on the cover (external) display, and one on the inner foldable screen. He adds that Apple is testing variants where the inner camera sits behind the display, making it invisible to the eye, though it’s not clear whether that approach will be used in the final shipping unit.
What’s under the hood, and what it’ll cost you
On the performance side, Prosser reports the iPhone Ultra will ship with Apple’s A20 Pro chip paired with 12GB of RAM. He also mentions Apple’s in-house C2 modem, a component that the report indicates will support advanced connectivity features. One specific capability tied to the modem is satellite communication via NR-NTN, which aligns with other supply chain reports about Apple’s plans for future iPhone models. Prosser also notes the device will not include Face ID; instead, Touch ID is said to return in the power button, which he claims will move back to the top edge of the device.
Battery capacity is discussed as well. The device is reported to use high-density battery cells with a target capacity around 5,800mAh, which would be the largest battery ever fitted in an iPhone if confirmed. That larger capacity is said to be achievable in part because Apple is slimming down the display driver and optimizing internal component layout to make room inside the thinner folded body.
Dimension details in the report describe a 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded, and a 5.5-inch external display when folded closed. The closed thickness is reported at approximately 9mm, while the profile when unfolded is said to be around 4.5mm. These measurements reflect the trade-offs Apple may be making between portability, screen size, and internal hardware placement.
Prosser’s coverage also touches on color and pricing. He reports Apple plans to offer the device in black and white finishes only. On price, the figures cited in his video range from roughly $2,000 to $2,500, though he notes more recent reporting has suggested Apple may aim closer to a $2,000 starting price to better compete with existing high-end foldables from other manufacturers. As with all pre-release reporting, these pricing and color details are unconfirmed by Apple.
It’s worth noting that Prosser’s reporting builds on patterns in Apple’s naming conventions. The Ultra label has appeared across Apple’s product portfolio in recent years, including in watch and Mac product lines, and using it for a new high-end iPhone variant would follow that existing hierarchy. Prosser emphasizes this alignment as part of the rationale for the iPhone Ultra name.
Finally, the report includes the reminder that none of these details have been officially confirmed by Apple. Prosser himself is the subject of ongoing legal action from Apple related to earlier leaks, which is a separate matter from the accuracy of any particular claim. Until Apple issues official specifications and pricing, these details should be treated as informed reporting rather than final product information.
