iPhone Ultra Leaks Reveal Foldable Display, A20 Pro Chip and Expected India Price

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is slowly becoming like one of the most talked about smartphones right now, ahead of its expected launch. People keep saying it might show up as the iPhone Ultra , a premium foldable handset, and it could debut alongside the iPhone 18 lineup later this year, maybe not too far from it.

New leaks have also popped up and they hint that Apple is still fighting with hinge durability during internal testing, even if the company has supposedly gotten a near crease-free folding display. Supposedly the device is dealing with mechanical noise, plus folding reliability headaches when it gets pushed through repeated use.

Hinge Issues

From what recent leaks shared via Chinese tipsters are saying, Apple’s foldable iPhone prototype is reportedly making tiny rattling sounds after multiple fold and unfold cycles. The hinge mechanism, is said to be in extra rounds of testing before Apple decides on the retail version.

Apple is apparently trying to stretch long-term durability while keeping that slim foldable look. If this stuff can’t be sorted soon, the iPhone Ultra launch schedule might slip , even though earlier rumors were pointing to a September 2026 debut.

Display Details

More leaks suggest the iPhone Ultra could bring a big 7.8-inch foldable inner display, paired with a smaller 5.3-inch outer cover screen. Apple is expected to put a lot of effort into reducing display creases, because lots of foldable smartphones still struggle with that in 2026.

The foldable panel might also bring higher brightness, better color accuracy, and smoother refresh performance, tuned for multitasking , gaming and those Apple Intelligence AI features across both displays.

Processor and RAM

Under the hood, the iPhone Ultra is kinda expected to run on Apple’s next-gen A20 Pro chipset, made using a more advanced 2nm process and all that. It’s also possible the very same processor will be used on the iPhone 18 Pro lineup later this year, depending on how Apple staggers releases. Performance leaks point to a foldable version that might ship with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, so multitasking feels smoother, and AI powered processing can keep up without stutters. Apple is reportedly tuning the chipset toward machine learning workloads, plus better battery efficiency, especially for foldable hardware where power budgets are usually more tricky.

Camera Features

For photos, the iPhone Ultra may come with a dual 48MP rear camera layout aimed at that premium flagship imaging vibe. Apple could also add separate selfie cameras, one for the outer display and another on the foldable inner screen. Beyond that, the company may keep pushing computational photography, cinematic video capture, and AI based image enhancements, similar to the kinds of features you’ve seen on the latest Pro iPhone models lately.

Expected Price

Right now, leaks indicate the iPhone Ultra might start selling in China around CNY 10,000, and that roughly works out to ₹1,34,000 for the base model. Still, Apple’s India pricing could end up being much higher once taxes and import duties come into the picture. The device is also expected to use a titanium-aluminium body frame, and it may include Touch ID support too, which would make it one of Apple’s more premium, experimental, straight-up high-end smartphones so far.
