Apple’s long-awaited foldable phone took another step out of the shadows on Monday, as a flurry of new leaks put a face — and a few specs — to a device the company has yet to officially acknowledge.

The most eye-catching development came via Chinese social media platform Weibo. There leaker Ice Universe posted what appears to be a single photograph of a white folding iPhone prototype. The image shows a white-backed device with two rear cameras and a front that appears close to being all-screen. However, shrinkwrapping on the front panel makes it difficult to judge bezel size with any confidence.
Ice Universe built a reasonably solid reputation in Apple-leak circles, but the image comes with real caveats. The device probably already entered early mass production. What’s shown is most likely a dummy unit rather than a functional prototype. AppleInsider also noted the “Bigfoot factor.” If Ice Universe had genuine access to such a device, one would expect more than a single angle of a single shot.
Still, the image aligns with what other sources have been saying for months about iPhone Ultra. It fits prior claims about the camera configuration and matches CAD drawings that leaker Sonny Dickson shared in March 2026.
Two colors, both on the understated side
As for what colors the foldable iPhone may ship in, the emerging picture is a restrained one. Fellow leaker Instant Digital said white is currently the only finish that can be called definitively confirmed for the device.
What the second option might be is less certain. A supply chain source cited by Macworld recently suggested it could be a light blue shade distinct from the deep blue finish seen on the iPhone 17 Pro. But now speculation arises that a deep blue or indigo shade could be in the offing rather than dark gray.
Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman has separately reported that Apple intends to keep the palette traditional — think space…
