Apple Gears Up for Crease-Free iPhone Fold Ultra in 2026

Rumors say Apple will launch the iPhone Fold Ultra in late 2026 with a crease-free 7.8-inch inner OLED display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, powered by an A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process, 12 GB RAM, a titanium-aluminum chassis, and a dual-cell 5,400 mAh battery. The hinge reportedly draws on Oppo’s liquid metal tech to reduce creases, and Apple may extend foldable tech across its ecosystem (foldable iPad, hybrid devices), challenging Samsung and reshaping the foldable market.

Samsung reportedly brands Fold 8 lineup as Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra

Samsung is reportedly naming its next foldables the Galaxy Z Fold 8 (the wider Fold 8 Wide) and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, with the Ultra serving as the direct successor to Fold 7. The Fold 8 is expected to be wider and shorter and will drop one rear camera, while the Fold 8 Ultra is said to include upgrades such as a 5,000 mAh battery, 45W charging, and a 50MP ultrawide camera but will not include S Pen support, a Privacy Display, 60W charging, or a higher-zoom camera. The lineup is expected to debut at Samsung’s July 22 Unpacked event, with possible price hikes.

Foldable redesign teased: Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide’s wider screen hints at a smartphone-like cover

Fresh leaks via a tempered-glass screen protector suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide will adopt a notably wider aspect ratio, with a narrower cover display and a near-square 4:3 inner panel (rumored 5.4" cover, 7.6" inner). The design, illustrated by a Huawei Pura X Max comparison, hints at a possible camera downgrade to accommodate the broader form factor and reinforces the idea of a more traditional phone-like cover experience when closed.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide aims for ultrathin pocketability to challenge iPhone Ultra

Samsung is reportedly preparing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide with an ultra-thin, lightweight design to rival Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra. Leaks suggest the Fold 8 Wide could weigh about 210 g and have a 4.1 mm unfolded thickness, with a folded profile around 9.8 mm— thinner than Huawei Pura X Max's 11.2 mm. The design shift emphasizes extreme portableness and a near-square 4:3 inner display to deliver a “tablet-like” experience while aiming to set a new benchmark in the foldable category.

Apple’s iPad Fold Ties to iPhone Ultra with Unified Hinge Tech

A new leak suggests Apple’s foldable iPad project remains alive and will share hinge technology with the iPhone Ultra, using liquid-metal hinges and crease-reduction methods to pursue a crease-free 18-inch display. If accurate, this points to a unified foldable platform across devices, potentially reducing development costs, but weight and price concerns (up to about $3,900) and production challenges could push mass production into 2028–2029, with the iPhone Ultra debut expected earlier in 2026.

Fold 8 Struggles to Compete as Apple Readies iPhone Fold

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is criticized for trade-offs (no S Pen, no Privacy Display, higher production costs due to more materials and a DRAM shortage/BBOE OLED switch, and a persistently visible crease). Apple’s upcoming iPhone Fold is expected to push a new benchmark with a liquid metal hinge, Ultra-Thin Glass, a large 5,800 mAh battery, and a book-style form factor, potentially dominating the US market. Samsung’s alternative Wide Fold could remain competitive only if it minimizes compromises.
