A trio of leaks have revealed new features for the rumored iPhone Ultra, Apple’s take on the foldable phone. That includes a new image purporting to be a dummy unit of the device.<\/p>\n

The dummy unit photo comes from the leaker Ice Universe, most known for his Samsung leaks. The image they posted on Weibo shows the unit with a plastic cover on the display and only the rear side with the camera array. It also shows the phone in white.<\/p>\n

This is one of the first images of the iPhone Ultra that isn’t a leaked CAD or rendering.<\/p>\n

Notably, I can’t see the Apple logo on the unit, dummy or not. It does seem to confirm the more square, passport-like design of the foldable. Additionally, because of the plastic covering we can’t see the hinge of the foldable phone.<\/p>\n

It does seem to match the renderings and previous leaks we’ve seen.<\/p>\n

Speaking of hinges, in another leak from Weibo, the tipster known as Fixed Focus Digital claims that Apple will offer a liquid metal hinge on the iPhone Ultra.<\/p>\n

“Research and development are progressing rapidly, and prototypes have already been sent to global carriers for testing,” (machine-translated), they posted.<\/p>\n

This follows shortly after a previous leak from separate leaker Instant Digital that claimed Apple was having reliability issues with the liquid metal hinge that had the potential to cause an indefinite delay. Fixed Focus contradicted that rumor last week claiming that any production problems were due to circuit board issues.<\/p>\n

Both leakers suggested that a September release alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models was in question. Now, however, with this and FFD’s other leak, it seems the iPhone Fold might be on track for September.<\/p>\n
