Apple is set to unveil its long-rumored foldable smartphone, widely dubbed the iPhone Ultra, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series at its September 9, 2026 event. Supply chain leaks and software findings give a clear picture of what to expect from Apple's debut entry into the foldable space. Design and Displays The iPhone Ultra features a passport-style, book-fold form factor that opens horizontally, resembling a mini iPad rather than a tall phone. Leaks indicate a 5.5-inch outer cover screen and a 7.8-inch inner OLED display with a roughly 4:3 aspect ratio. Apple relies on liquid metal hinges, structural glass, and special adhesive formulations to eliminate the display crease almost entirely. Unfolded, it measures an ultra-thin 4.5mm to 4.6mm, expanding to roughly 9mm to 9.5mm when closed. Performance and Silicon Under the hood, the Ultra is powered by Apple's next-generation 2nm A20 Pro chip, paired with 12GB of RAM and a custom C2 modem that supports advanced satellite connectivity. To maximize internal space, it uses a two-cell battery design totaling between 4,800 mAh and 5,100 mAh, making it potentially the largest battery ever placed in an iPhone. Cameras and Biometrics Due to space constraints inside the ultra-thin chassis, the device steps back from the triple-camera setup of the Pro line. It opts instead for a dual rear camera module featuring a 48MP main lens and a 48MP ultrawide lens, omitting the dedicated telephoto lens. For front-facing duties, it houses dual 18MP selfie cameras—one for the cover screen and one inside. Face ID is absent on the foldable screen; biometrics will be handled via Touch ID integrated directly into the side power button, similar to the iPad line. Software and Pricing Developer references in iOS 27 show explicit support for fold angles, variable window layouts, and multitasking split-views tailored specifically for this wider screen. Because of its complex manufacturing process and premium titanium-aluminum body, analysts expect the Ultra to start between $2,000 and $2,400 (keywords: sony ds, sony ds tablet, sony tablet p, angry birds, sony ds grandma video, sony folding tablet, iphone ultra, folding iphone release date, iphone 18 pro, apple 2026 event, foldable iphone, iphone fold, android ice cream sandwich) #TechTok #cidstech #iphone #sony #foldable
