Leaked cases for the iPhone Ultra show what to expect from the accessories for Apple’s upcoming foldable. While the renders feature an Android-style punch-hole camera, recent schematics suggest the device will actually debut a smaller, refined Dynamic Island identical to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro in late 2026.
Freshly leaked cases for Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra have surfaced on a case-maker’s website, showing what to expect from the design. It’s worth noting that while the renders provide our clearest look at iPhone Ultra accessories yet, they also present a mix of rumors and likely placeholder render images.
For example, the iPhone Ultra renders used for the case design show a tiny, Android-style punch-hole selfie camera on the outer display. However, schematics and design models, including the latest leaked CAD render (you can find below) suggest this might not be accurate.
Apple's foldable is instead expected to utilize a Dynamic Island identical to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. While notably smaller than the cutout on the iPhone 17 Pro, the selfie camera cutout is expected to remain larger than a standard punch-hole to house Apple's Face ID array.
The case-maker calls the foldable iPhone the "18 Fold".
Early leaks heavily debated whether the iPhone Ultra would support MagSafe, with some rumors suggesting Apple might drop the feature to achieve an ultra-thin chassis. The latest case designs indicate otherwise, prominently featuring the magnetic ring.
Despite reports of supply chain issues and assembly hurdles, the foldable iPhone is (still) anticipated to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September, bringing a crease-less design, the 2nm A20 Pro chip, 7.8 and 5.5-inch displays, and a dual camera system. Apple's first foldable is said to start at (at least) $2,000.
