Apple's rumored foldable iPhone Ultra shown in most detailed dummy unit video yet

Unbox Therapy has released the most detailed video yet of Apple's rumored foldable iPhone Ultra, offering a tangible look at the device's form factor and ergonomics.

The 10-minute video from Unbox Therapy showcases a dummy unit that aligns with recent leaks, featuring a passport-like shape when folded and a more tablet-like form when opened. Measurements provided in the video show the device to be 117 mm high, 84.27 mm wide, and 11.02 mm thick when closed, with a 5.2 mm thickness when unfolded. The unit also demonstrates the hinge mechanism and how the device wobbles when placed on a surface.

This foldable device is part of Apple's long-rumored strategy to enter the foldable market with a foldable iPhone, a space currently dominated by Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi. The dummy unit suggests Apple is moving toward a more compact, multi-form factor design that could appeal to users looking for both portability and a larger-screen experience. The device's ergonomics and button placement are also highlighted, showing how Apple is refining the user experience for a foldable form factor.

With a potential 2026 launch, the iPhone Ultra could signal a major design shift for Apple. If the dummy unit is accurate, the company is preparing to compete directly with foldables from its main rivals, and the hardware and software integration could set a new standard in the category.

Previous reports indicate that Apple will be going with the name "iPhone Ultra" for the new foldable, but since these are merely rumors at this stage, it's wise to take this information with a healthy amount of skepticism. Naming can change quite quickly in the world of tech. However, Ultra would already fall within Apple's naming schema, as it has the Apple Watch Ultra, and its family of Ultra chips M-series.
