This is our best look at Apple's first foldable iPhone (Ultra) with Android-style selfie camera

One of the most prolific leaksters of iPhone and Samsung flagship prototypes has just shared perhaps our best look at what seems to be the closest-to-reality design model of Apple’s first foldable phone, dubbed as the iPhone Ultra.

A couple of things about the latest foldable iPhone leak stand out. For starters, the tipster has reiterated that the only color option for the foldable iPhone (that he’s aware of) is white, which builds on recent rumors that Apple has decided to ditch the black variant and stick to only one color.

Even though the first foldable iPhone is projected to outsell every other Android foldable once released, it would make sense if Cupertino has decided to keep it simple with its first entry into this (technically) new product category.

The other thing that stands out from the live dummy images is the positioning of the inner selfie camera. Now corroborated by a number of leaked design models and schematics, it’s now safe to assume the iPhone Ultra will bring Apple’s first perfectly round punch-hole selfie cutout. Unless there’s a last-minute change.

That said, the situation regarding the selfie camera cutout on the cover screen could go either way. Older leaked schematics show a round punch-hole cutout, while the most recent ones show a smaller Dynamic Island cutout similar to what’s expected in the iPhone 18 Pro, which makes more sense for design continuity, and Face ID, of course (although we also expected to see the return of TouchID on the power button).

The foldable iPhone is (still) expected to show up alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series in September, featuring the 2nm A20 Pro SoC, the largest-ever battery in an iPhone, a dual-cam system (no telephoto), as well as 5.5-inch cover and 7.8-inch inner displays.

Apple is holding its annual WWDC event starts in mere hours, so perhaps we are going to get an early look at iOS 27 for the foldable iPhone? The rumors point to a revamped mashup between iOS and iPadOS, which would make the foldable experience on the iPhone Ultra feel intuitive, with the ability to automatically scale apps not made for foldables.
