Details about this foldable iPhone are expected to be revealed at a new product announcement event scheduled for September 2026. This foldable iPhone has been referred to as the 'iPhone Fold' until now.

Max Weinbach, an analyst at market research firm Creative Strategies, posted, 'I still can't believe the foldable iPhone will be named 'iPhone Ultra.' Considering Apple's other Ultra brands, it makes absolutely no sense to me. It doesn't seem like an Ultra product. Just being unique compared to the Pro, but inferior to the Pro, doesn't make it an Ultra product.' Gurman responded, 'Everyone at Apple is calling the foldable iPhone 'iPhone Ultra.' Let's see what happens.'

Everyone calls it the Ultra internally. We'll see what happens.

In response to Gurman's post, Apple-related media outlet 9to5Mac pointed out that 'just because a name is used among many Apple employees doesn't mean it will be the final product name.' It further noted that 'Apple is a secretive company, and its secrecy means that most employees are not told anything about unannounced products unless they are directly involved in development.'

There are other reports suggesting that Apple's first foldable iPhone will be named 'iPhone Ultra.' This iPhone Ultra is expected to use Touch ID fingerprint authentication instead of Face ID, feature an A20 chip as its SoC and a C2 modem chip for communications, have an ultra-thin design similar to the iPhone Air , and be priced at around $2,000 (approximately 319,000 yen).
