iPhone Ultra: The foldable's slimness becomes clearer
01.05.2026 • 15h26
New details have emerged regarding the size of Apple's first foldable iPhone when folded.
While production of the very first foldable iPhone is well underway, accessory manufacturers, protective case makers, and others already have access to dummy models and detailed technical diagrams, allowing them to ensure the correct dimensions for manufacturing their devices in advance and be on store shelves when it's released. A technical document reveals the iPhone Ultra will be 9.23 mm thick. Korean leaker Yeux1122 (via PhoneArena) recently published one of these documents, showing most of the iPhone Ultra's dimensions, particularly in its folded position. We now know that the device will be 9.23 mm thick, almost exactly in the middle of the previously estimated range of 9 mm to 9.5 mm. Note that the thickness reaches a maximum of approximately 13 mm at the camera module protrusion. The iPhone Ultra is slightly thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, despite a thicker camera module. For comparison, the iPhone Ultra remains slightly thicker than its competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which measures 8.9 mm when folded. However, the camera module increases this thickness to 14 millimeters. The leaked document also confirms that the device will be available in two colors: silver and black.
