The foldable space could be getting a bit more crowded, and maybe more interesting, if the latest leaks are anything to go by. There\u2019s fresh chatter around Apple<\/a>\u2019s first foldable, and more specifically, what it might be called.<\/p>\n

\"Alleged<\/p>\n

According to Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation, Apple\u2019s upcoming wide-format foldable<\/a> may actually launch as the iPhone Ultra. That\u2019s not confirmed, of course, but the name alone is enough to get other brands thinking. The same leak suggests that some Chinese manufacturers are already considering using \u201cUltra\u201d branding for their own wide foldable devices.<\/p>\n

No specific brands were named, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the speculation. Names like a possible \u201cHuawei Pura Ultra 2\u201d or \u201cXiaomi MIX Fold Ultra\u201d have already started floating around online. Unofficial, obviously, but not entirely unrealistic given how naming trends usually evolve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The mention of a \u201cwide foldable\u201d is also interesting. It lines up with earlier reports about Huawei working on a new model, possibly called the Pura X2<\/a>. That device is said to feature a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display with a wider aspect ratio, along with a 5.5-inch outer screen. The goal seems to be better usability both when folded and unfolded. There\u2019s also talk of a newer Kirin 9030<\/a>-series chip and an upgraded telephoto camera, though details are still a bit thin.<\/p>\n

As for Apple, its foldable iPhone is still expected sometime in the second half of 2026. A lot of the interest around it isn\u2019t just about hardware; it\u2019s also about how Apple might approach software and durability. If the \u201cUltra\u201d branding does stick, it would clearly place the device at the very top of Apple\u2019s lineup, both in terms of features and pricing.<\/p>\n

At this point, the direction is becoming clearer: foldables are moving further into the premium space, and \u201cUltra\u201d might just be the next label everyone wants to use.<\/p>\n
