The foldable iPhone Ultra just leaked in full in this new video, with iOS 27 code backing it up

Jon Prosser's Front Page Tech just dropped its cleanest look yet at the foldable iPhone Ultra, and iOS 27 beta code is quietly backing it up. The renders show a wide-folding, iPad-style design and one detail that should stun: split-screen multitasking that may stay locked to this one foldable, leaving cheaper iPhones behind the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the best foldables you can buy today.

Prosser's renders land, and iOS 27 code backs the story up

Prosser, the leaker behind Front Page Tech, has a long Apple track record with more hits than misses, so the render set carries weight. He calls it the clearest picture yet of what Apple shows in September beside the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2.

The renders show a chunky phone closed and a near-tablet open, a titanium build, and a dual camera with no telephoto, at 4.5 mm unfolded versus the iPhone Air's 5.6 mm. The real hook is software, since Prosser claims real split-screen multitasking is coming, and only to the Ultra.



That single decision is what turns a niche foldable leak into something every iPhone owner should care about.

Who actually loses if multitasking stays Ultra-only

If that holds, the cheaper iPhone 18 you were eyeing still cannot run two apps at once, something most phones (that are not iPhones) do without fuss. No notes beside a video and no chat beside a browser, unless you pay Ultra money.



Android sorted this out long ago. Samsung's Multi window has reliably run two to three app windows at once on the Galaxy Z Fold line, and we covered how iOS 27 may finally give Apple its own version.

In our Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S26 Ultra reviews multitasking barely rates a mention, because on Android it is just the baseline. Over on X, photographer richphotoio said the Ultra might finally pull him off the iPad.

Here's what the foldable iPhone Ultra is rumored to pack

The rumored rundown from the leak, headline parts first:

• Two colors available: black and white
• A 4.5 mm unfolded body, thinner than the iPhone Air's 5.6 mm
• Split-screen multitasking, reportedly exclusive to the Ultra
• A titanium frame built to survive without a case
• A dual camera, wide and ultra-wide, with no telephoto
• An A20 chip, 12 GB of RAM, satellite modem, and a rumored $2,000-plus price

Read that and the buyer comes into focus. This is built for the heavy multitasker who wants a tablet in a pocket and shrugs at the camera trade-off. The person chasing the best photos for the money should look elsewhere.

Foldables won me over, but the Ultra has to earn it

I am sold on foldables for the flexibility. Closed when I want a phone, open when I want room to work, and the multitasking boost when the screen unfolds is the real draw.

What I do not love is the price, or that most foldables still bring weaker camera tech than a flagship slab. However, I do care more about getting things done than nailing the perfect picture, so that is a trade I usually make without complaint. If Apple wants $2,000 to unlock multitasking Android has had for years, the rest of the Ultra had better feel worth every dollar.
