Foldable iPhone Ultra Leaks: Book-style design teased with big iPad-like inner display

Rumors and dummy models of Apple’s anticipated foldable iPhone, reportedly called iPhone Ultra, show a book-style device with a 4:3 inner display that could be about 7.8 inches open and ~5.5 inches closed. The outer screen is expected around 5.3 inches. Comparisons with the iPhone 17 Pro Max suggest a taller, immersive 16:9 viewing experience, with a thick camera bump and a two-lens system. Features/spec changes under discussion include no Face ID due to space, a Touch ID–integrated power button, and a dedicated Camera Control button. Current leaks place the device at roughly 11mm thick when closed (with some rumors claiming 9–9.5mm) and point to a September launch alongside iPhone 18 Pro models, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman noting a price crossing $2,000 in the U.S.
