It’s thinner and lighter than rivals but carries IP48/IP49 dust resistance. A 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery could offer standout endurance, though the high price raises questions about value in today’s economy.
Macworld reports Apple plans to extend its Ultra branding beyond the Apple Watch to a foldable iPhone Ultra (debuting this fall alongside iPhone 18 Pro models) and a MacBook Ultra with an OLED touchscreen (targeting early 2027, possibly delayed by RAM shortages), with rumors that Ultra branding could also reach iPad and AirPods and a Mac Studio M5 Ultra; base iPhone and iPhone Air upgrades are expected later in 2027 as part of a broader Ultra rollout.

DigiTimes reports Apple’s first foldable iPhone is behind schedule, with mass production slipping from June to early August 2026. Apple has not signaled any launch delay to suppliers, and the device remains targeted for a fall 2026 debut (likely around the iPhone 18 Pro timing). The price is expected to be about $2,000–$2,500, with a 5.5-inch closed and 7.8-inch open display. Before mass production, the device will undergo Design Validation Testing and Production Validation Testing, and a delay in mass production could lead to supply shortages.
Huawei's Pura X Max, a wide-aspect foldable unveiled in China, appears to share the same book-style form factor rumored for Apple's foldable iPhone, with a 5.5-inch closed display and roughly 7.8-inch open size; Apple is expected to debut its foldable alongside the iPhone 18 Pro in September, with a price around $2,000 and the possibility of the name 'iPhone Ultra'.
Apple is reportedly nearing mass production of the iPhone Fold, potentially branded as the iPhone Ultra with a price around $2,000. The design is unusually short and wide, which could hinder one‑hand use and pocketability, and early reception suggests it may be a niche device despite a strong battery and high-end specs. Critics warn the wait may not pay off for most iOS users, signaling a cautious reception for Apple’s foldable venture.
Leaked visuals of Motorola's Razr 70 (Razr 2026) confirm three color options—Sporting Green, Hematite, and Violet Ice—and hint at an imminent launch.

High-resolution CAD renders from OnLeaks and XpertPick reveal the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra with a 4-inch secondary display and 7-inch main display, a new silver finish and revised back texture, and a design largely similar to the Razr 60 Ultra. On the hinges and sides it shows the usual setup (left AI button, right volume and fingerprint‑integrated power button, USB‑C, speaker, SIM tray), with dual rear cameras tucked into the secondary-display area. The Razr 60 Ultra’s hardware benchmarks—like Snapdragon 8 Elite, bright 4K/165 Hz display, 4,700 mAh battery and two 50 MP rear cameras—are used for context, suggesting potential internal upgrades for the Razr 70 Ultra.
Leaked details suggest Apple is prepping its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Fold, featuring a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, powered by an A20 Pro chip on a 2-nm process with 12GB DDR5X RAM and 256GB–1TB storage, starting at about $1,999. The device aims to set a new standard for foldables and could accelerate market adoption, but durability and price remain key hurdles.
