One thing that has a lot of people talking right now is the name: allegedly, Apple has decided to use the iPhone Ultra label rather than simply calling it the iPhone Fold, which has been on everyone\u2019s lips for months.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-239997\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Introducing iPhone Ultra | First Look\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f7UA1Hmg53Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Introducing iPhone Ultra | First Look\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f7UA1Hmg53Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nA Weibo post from Digital Chat Station a few days ago has left some enthusiasts wondering. The source is well-known for accurately predicting Apple supply chain actions and is followed by millions of people because they claim to have inside information from manufacturing professionals. Meanwhile, other Chinese companies who make their own foldables are considering using the Ultra name to compete on the same criteria as Apple, notably screen size, hardware, and price. Apple is keeping quiet as usual, but the way they\u2019ve handled such situations in the past, executing a last-minute branding change, is nothing new.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0F7JZYWLL\" data-aawp-product-id=\"229974\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone 256GB AI Smartphone Unlocked Android AI Photo Edits Large Screen Long Battery Life 2025 US 1 Yr Manufacturer Warranty Blue Shadow\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41GqHGRy0RL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone, 256GB AI Smartphone, Unlocked Android, AI Photo Edits, Large Screen...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone, 256GB AI Smartphone, Unlocked Android, AI Photo Edits, Large Screen&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>BIGGER, YET SLIMMER THAN EVER: Who would\u2019ve guessed that wider could also be lighter?

Slapping the name on the foldable does a few things: it elevates it above the ordinary Pro models and avoids the copying-your-rivals issue, as several competitors already use the Fold branding. Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman stated earlier this year that Apple intended to employ Ultra for high-end things, which matches this current speculation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"iPhone Fold - First REAL Hands-On Video Is Finally Here!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4vVfl8vaVFo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"iPhone Fold - First REAL Hands-On Video Is Finally Here!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4vVfl8vaVFo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nIts launch is reportedly still on track for September, alongside the new iPhone 18 series. Production volume is expected to be six to eight million units in the first wave, while some reports say that an issue could delay the launch back to 2027, which appears improbable so far. Design concepts and dummy units from several accessory manufacturers give us a good sense of how the phone will look. It unfolds like a book to reveal a nearly square 7.8-inch inside panel, as well as a smaller screen on the outside for fast chores. Then there are two cameras on the back and one on the front, which will work whether the phone is open or closed. The design of the phone in early samples differs from the standard shape, and it is unclear whether magnetic charging will be used.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/09121449\/iphone-fold-iphoneultra-name-leak-2.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Fold iPhone Ultra Name Change Leak\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Rumors suggest that it will be priced between $2k and $2.5k, which is significantly pricier than what Samsung, Google, and Motorola are offering.
