GoKawiilApple's first foldable, iPhone Ultra, expected at September 9 event
Leaks ahead of Apple's confirmed September 9 event point to a foldable iPhone Ultra launching seven years after Samsung's first foldable phone. Reports describe a nearly crease-free inner display, an ultra-thin body powered by the A20 Pro chip and a vapor chamber for cooling, and a liquid-metal hinge built on technology Apple licensed more than 15 years ago.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Apple's late entry into foldables means it faces pressure to solve the durability and design flaws—like visible creases and bulk—that have dogged the category since 2019. If these leaks hold up, Apple could reset consumer expectations for what a premium foldable should look and feel like, pressuring rivals like Samsung to catch up on hinge and display engineering.
- iPhone Ultra is rumored to debut at Apple's September 9 event as the company's first foldable phone.
- Leaks suggest a virtually crease-free display, a slim design, and an A20 Pro chip with vapor chamber cooling.
- The hinge reportedly uses liquid metal technology Apple has been developing for over 15 years.
