We’re less than a week away from the debut of Apple’s first foldable iPhone, and rumors have been picking up as the event date approaches. Here’s the latest.
- MagSafe – Even though foldable iPhone dummies we saw earlier this year didn’t have a MagSafe ring, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman claims all signs indicate MagSafe charging will be supported.
- Crease – Some of the early language about the foldable iPhone’s crease suggested Apple might have found a way to make it invisible, but later rumors are more realistic. The crease is minimal, but Apple hasn’t found a magic way to get rid of it.
- Touch ID – Touch ID is still expected for the foldable iPhone. Apple didn’t have room for the Face ID hardware because the device is rumored to be just 4.5mm thick. There will be volume buttons at the top of the iPhone Ultra, with a ‌Touch ID‌ side button for unlocking.
- Software – iOS 27 makes it clear Apple is making sure apps will work with the foldable iPhone. There’s a big push for app resizability and layout flexibility. The iPhone is expected to support multitasking, sidebars, and side-by-side app usage.
- Cameras – Camera rumors haven’t changed. We’re expecting a two-lens camera setup with Wide and Ultra Wide lenses.
- Chips – Early rumors said Apple would transition to the C2 and move away from Qualcomm, but it looks like Apple might still use Qualcomm modems in the United States. It hinges on whether the C2 supports mmWave 5G. The ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will also adopt Apple’s A20 Pro chip, the same as the iPhone 18 Pro models.
- Colors – The foldable iPhone is expected in white/silver and dark blue.
- Apple Pencil – Apple tested an Apple Pencil with the foldable iPhone, but it’s probably not going to launch.
- Launch Timing – Rumors on ‌iPhone Ultra‌ launch timing and production have been mixed, with some sources reporting delays. Gurman says he will be “very surprised” if the device doesn’t launch at the same time as the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models or “very close to it.” It’s still possible supplies could be constrained, leading to long waits for those who don’t pre-order early.
- Price – The ‌iPhone Ultra‌ is expected to cost over $2,000, possibly up to $2,500 depending on storage capacity.
Apple will introduce the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ and the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models at its “Surprise and Shine” event that will be held on Wednesday, September 9.
