Apple is expected to release its first folding iPhone, rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, this fall. And a new report says that there won\u2019t be a black version, only white \u2014 which would be a notable break with tradition. <\/p>\n
ForbesiOS 26.5.1: Apple Update Fixes Charging Bug Found On iPhone 17 Series And iPhone AirBy David Phelan<\/a><\/p>\n The report comes from serial leaker Sonny Dickson, who has revealed detailed images which claim to be a folding iPhone dummy in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst look at the iPhone Fold dummy unit. It doesn’t look like Apple will offer multiple colors, with white currently appearing to be the only option,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n A Radical Departure From Apple Tradition<\/p>\n Black versions of Apple devices are de rigueur, so to omit one for the initial folding iPhone would be a surprise. And it would also mean the foldable would be the first iPhone since 2007, when the original model was released, that was only available in one color. <\/p>\n As such, the rumor seems almost far-fetched. <\/p>\n The Growing Consensus Around A White iPhone Ultra<\/p>\n But Sonny Dickson\u2019s comments come just a couple of days after another leaker, Ice Universe<\/a>, showed an image on Weibo of the folding iPhone \u2014 and that image also showed the phone in a white hue and no others. <\/p>\n Another leaker, Instant Digital, claimed back in February that only one color was confirmed, as they put it, and that color was white. <\/p>\n Multiple leaks do not mean that a rumor becomes a certainty, though the additional authority that comes from additional reports from reliable sources add up to something. <\/p>\n I find it surprising that there\u2019s no black, or space gray, or similar-named version predicted. Time will tell. <\/p>\n
