Here's How the iPhone Ultra Compares to Other Apple Devices

Source: MacRumors

Overview

With dummy models of Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone now circulating, YouTube channel Max Tech’s Vadim Yuryev has shared images and video of the book‑style form factor compared to existing Apple devices, giving a clearer picture of what to expect when it launches later this year.

Display Specs

• Inner display: Supposed to have a 4:3 aspect ratio like an iPad, using an iPad mini‑sized OLED panel.
• Size: Reported as 5.5 inches when closed and 7.8 inches when open, slightly smaller than the 8.3‑inch iPad mini shown behind the dummy in the image.

Compared to an iPhone 17 Pro Max in landscape orientation, Yuryev says the foldable’s width is essentially the same, but its display is 56.9 % taller (71 mm vs. 111.5 mm). He suggests this will provide a more immersive video experience at 16:9 and be “awesome” for gaming with on‑screen controls.

Outer Display

Yuryev also posted a video demonstrating interaction with the outer screen. According to The Information, the outer display measures 5.3 inches, a bit smaller than the 5.4‑inch screen on the iPhone 13 mini. Most other rumors list it at 5.5 inches. In either case, users with larger hands may need time to adjust.

Physical Design

• Side view (folded):
  • A Touch ID‑integrated power button and a dedicated Camera Control button are positioned on the right side.
  • Volume buttons run along the top, similar to the iPad mini layout.
• Face ID: Not expected due to space constraints.
• Camera system: The rear houses a two‑lens camera module on a raised “plateau” that does not span the entire back of the device.

Thickness

• Closed: Yuryev’s dummy measures 11 mm thick, contrasting with other rumors that suggest a closed thickness of 9 mm–9.5 mm. He claims his prototype is “spot on,” similar to last year’s iPhone 17 Pro units.
• Open: Thickness when opened has not been disclosed; some rumors claim 4.5 mm, which would make the foldable iPhone Apple’s thinnest device by far.

Launch, Pricing, and Expectations

The device is being referred to as the iPhone Ultra by a frequently reliable Chinese leaker. Details on launch dates, pricing, and final specifications remain speculative.
