As companies like Samsung, Google and Motorola have released folding phones over the past couple of years, each model has prompted the question: when is Apple going to make a foldable i Phone? Rumors have ramped up alongside its competitors' releases, which now point to a late-2026 introduction of what's rumored to be called the i Phone Fold or i Phone Ultra.
The most recent rumors come from leaker Digital Chat Station, who suggests the foldable could be called the i Phone Ultra, and from leaker Sonny Dickson, whose supposed dummy molds provide further support for the rumor that the iPhone Fold will be wide and squat.
We've gotten far more design leaks suggesting how Apple's foldable may look. Most leaks, like Dickson's above, suggest that the iPhone Fold will be a book-style foldable that's squat and wide, looking more like the original Pixel Fold than taller, thinner models such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
