Apple’s first foldable iPhone is coming this fall, and rumors say it will be called iPhone Ultra. Here are six features to expect from Apple’s new high-end iPhone Ultra.
Design: Book-style fold with titanium, crease-free display

As Apple’s first foldable, iPhone Ultra will have an extremely unique design for an iPhone.
Unlike most foldables, iPhone Ultra will be wider than it is tall when unfolded. It will have a book-style fold, with an outer display that looks shorter and wider than every other iPhone screen, and an inner display that resembles an iPad mini in size and shape.
Also unlike previous foldables, the inner display of iPhone Ultra is expected to have a crease-free design—a big breakthrough for the form factor.
iPhone Ultra will take some design cues from the iPhone Air. It will have a titanium border, be ultra-thin when unfolded, and resemble two iPhone Airs stacked together when folded—but thinner.
Finally, rumors say only black and white color options will be offered.
Displays: Unique sizes and orientations

iPhone Ultra will have two displays: one on the outside, and one that’s revealed when you unfold it. Rumored dimensions are:
- Outer display: 5.3 to 5.5 inches
- Inner display: 7.6 to 7.8 inches
The outer screen will somewhat resemble an iPhone mini in size, but with a wider aspect ratio.
The inner screen could come very close to resembling an iPad mini in the hand.
Cameras: Two rear lenses, plus two front-facing
The iPhone Ultra will have two rear cameras: 48MP Main and 48MP Ultra Wide.
That means users who opt for the Ultra over a Pro model will miss out on the Telephoto camera and its increased zoom capabilities.
Since iPhone Ultra has two displays, it will also come with two front-facing cameras: one for each display.
Not much is known about these cameras, but Apple will…
