The foldable iPhone will be slightly more impressive than previous reports have led people to believe. According to a new leak from a casing company, the Apple foldable — likely titled the iPhone Ultra — is slimmer than earlier claims had suggested.

A low-resolution image of the iPhone Ultra dimensions has come out, supposedly via a casing company. The leak (translated source) reveals that the iPhone Ultra is slimmer than previously reported.

These new measurements are for when the phone is folded. Maximum thickness, which includes the camera bump, has also been revealed.
How slim is the foldable iPhone?
According to the leak, the iPhone Ultra is approximately 9.23 mm thick when folded.
Previous reports have alleged this thickness to range from 9.5 mm to 9.8 mm or even more. If you measure the iPhone Ultra with the camera bump too, the phone is approximately 13 mm.
For comparison, the excellent Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is 8.9 mm thick when folded but 14 mm thick if you include its camera bump in your measurements.
What would it take for you to switch from the Fold series to the iPhone Ultra?
So much hinges on a perfect execution

So, Apple beats Samsung in maximum thickness and Samsung beats Apple in other measurements. Except for the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is last year’s model.
Before the iPhone Ultra can even come out, Samsung will have launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Z Wide Fold. And if the Galaxy Z Fold 8 leaked camera details are anything to go by, then Samsung isn’t done prettying up its flagship foldables just yet.
Apple needs its foldable iPhone to be a slam-dunk execution of perfection. Any shortcomings after making its customer base wait so many years for a foldable is going to leave a very bad impression.
A new market in the making?
Apple’s decision to make a wide-folding phone instead of something similar to the Fold 7 or the Oppo Find N6 has spurred Huawei and Samsung to work on similar models as well.
We’ve already got the Huawei Pura X Max and Samsung is finalizing the aforementioned Galaxy Z Wide Fold. If this form factor takes off, it could become an entirely new market.
It might even replace today’s traditional foldable phones altogether.
