- iPhone Ultra is expected to bring a wider display with a thinner body, making foldables feel more like a tablet but still easy to carry.
- Even without an official launch, iPhone Fold is already influencing how brands like Huawei and Samsung are designing their next foldables.
- The shift toward wide-format foldables means better multitasking, more natural viewing, and overall a more practical experience.
Right now, the foldable phone market is changing. Not in a loud way, but you can clearly see the direction. After Huawei showed its wider foldable, the talk has now moved to the iPhone Ultra. Apple has not launched it yet, but still, people in the industry are already comparing everything to it. That says a lot.
iPhone Ultra Fold may redefine the future of wide foldable smartphones
Earlier foldables were mostly tall and narrow. They looked cool but not always practical. Using apps side by side or even watching videos didn’t feel natural sometimes. Now brands are trying wider displays.
Based on what the comparison video shows, when you open the phone, it should feel like a small tablet, not just a stretched phone. Huawei already tried this approach, and honestly, it makes more sense for daily use. But the interesting part is many leaks suggest that the iPhone Fold is built around this same idea, maybe even better optimized.
What do leaks say about the iPhone Ultra?
Some early dummy models and design leaks give a rough idea of what Apple is planning. The numbers are not official, but they are close enough to understand the direction.
| Device | Unfolded size (mm) | Thickness |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone Ultra Fold | 120.59 x 167.59 | 4.7 mm |
| Huawei Pura X Max | 120.0 x 166.5 | 5.2 mm |
| Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide | 123.9 x 164.4 | 4.3 mm |
So yeah, Apple’s version might be slightly bigger than Huawei’s, but also thinner. That balance is important. A bigger screen is useful, but only if the phone still feels easy to carry. Also from the dummy units, the overall shape looks very similar across brands.
Cameras are different, and the design language is different, but the core idea is now kind of the same. Wide screen, thin body, more usable space.
This is not just another spec comparison. The entry of the iPhone Fold could push foldables into the mainstream. Apple usually doesn’t rush, but when they enter, they refine things. Samsung is already expected to bring a wider Fold version soon.
Huawei is also pushing fast in this space. But still, a lot of attention is on Apple because of how they position their products. If the foldable iPhone delivers a clean experience with that wider format, it could change how people see foldables completely.
Overall, foldables are not new anymore, but they are still evolving. The move from tall to wide design feels like the next real step. And even before launch, the iPhone Ultra is kind of leading that shift. We still have to wait for the official launch. But from what we are seeing now, the competition is already reacting. And that usually means something big is coming.
