iPhone Ultra – BETTER than we thought!

We've had a ton of leaks on Apple's

upcoming foldable iPhone, the iPhone

Ultra. We're talking storage options,

pricing, a completely new type of

display, and even a possible delay. So,

get that popcorn ready. And here's

everything that we know. But first, yes,

you've heard that right. iPhone Ultra.

Just like I mentioned in our previous

videos, Apple could be using the Ultra

naming scheme for their upcoming

Foldable instead of iPhone Fold,

according to Margar. Although, this

isn't 100% confirmed as of yet. So fold

could be another option as well. So

let's start with the new leaks.

According to digital chat station, a

well-known leaker, the iPhone fold could

actually be using not one but two layers

of ultra thin glass or ultra thin and

flexible glass. And then the display

itself would actually be between the two

sheets of glass, effectively creating a

sandwich. Okay, so what does that mean?

Well, foldable phones like the Galaxy

Xfold 7, they use one layer of ultra

thin glass on the top to protect the

display from external damage. By adding

a second layer underneath, it would add

extra protection to the display panel

itself from ever coming in contact with

the internal hinge mechanism. This

sandwich structure would also help

spread the mechanical stress across both

layers instead of a single layer of

glass like most foldables use today.

This would increase durability and also

limit the crease visibility when brand

new and especially over time once the

phone has been folded and unfolded

thousands of times. But wait, it gets

even better because this new dual

layered glass and the separation of the

display from the hinge would also mean

that the crease will be practically

invisible. According to the latest

reports, the depth of the crease will be

around a quarter of that of the Samsung

Galaxy Zfold 7 at only 0.15 mm deep as

opposed to around 0.7. However, that

also means that it actually won't be as

good as on this guy, the Oppo Find N6,

because the N6 has just a 0.05 mm crease

depth. And here, it's truly impossible

to feel. like you can kind of see it

under the right lighting, but even then

it's very very hard. So, the iPhone

Ultra's crease won't be as impressive.

In fact, Alpo even mentioned this in

their briefing with us, which makes me

think that they're really confident

about their product and rightfully so,

as it honestly nails every single aspect

of what affordable should be. But back

to the iPhone Ultra, its crease should

be in between the ZFold 7's and the

Apple Find 6's, which makes me very

curious about the upcoming ZFold 8's

crease because that device also seems to

be getting rid of the crease by adopting

two layers of ultra thin glass. And

that's coming a few months before

Apple's iPhone Ultra. So yeah, I'm

really curious to see um if Samsung

actually ends up having an even

shallower crease than the iPhone Ultra

and more similar to the Apple Find 6 or

not. But either way, the report on Waybo

also claims that when unfolded, the

crease angle would be less than 2.5° on

the iPhone Ultra. And once again, the

closer the number gets to zero, of

course, the flatter the display will

appear. And the same report also

mentions that the order for these

displays has just been placed by Apple.

Placing the order around March time also

points to a likely September launch

alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro

Max. Even though, according to Apple

analyst Tim Long, the iPhone Ultra may

be delayed to around December time. He

mentioned that shipments may start in

December. However, this could also mean

that the iPhone Ultra could still be

announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro

and 18 Pro Max in September and then

released of course later. And

unfortunately, I do think that this is

actually very plausible. Why? Well,

Apple does actually tend to do these one

more thing product announcements. If we

go back to 2017, the iPhone 10 was

announced back in September, but only

started shipping on the 3rd of November,

around 2 months later after the

announcement. And that's probably

because the iPhone 10 brought so many

new technologies, including an OLED

display, Face ID, and so much more. And

of course, all these new components can

lead to supply chain delays. And with

the iPhone Ultra being just as big of a

leap as the iPhone 10 was, I wouldn't be

surprised if Apple announces it in

September and then releases it in

December. Same thing also happened with

the Apple Vision Pro that started

shipping 8 months after its announcement

or the um Apple Watch that shipped 7

months after its original announcement.

So yeah, delay between the event and the

actual shipping is entirely possible.

you're seeing in our iPhone Ultra

concept, they are all from our chromatic

capsules pack by Artifacts. Truly one of

the most stunning packs in our app

wallpapers. You can get the first one

Now, back to the iPhone Ultra. It's also

believed that it could be shipping with

the same amount of RAM as the iPhone 17

Pro, Pro Max, and the iPhone Air, and

that's 12 GB. I was personally hoping

for more. Like 16 would have been nice,

especially considering the price and

considering that the Ultra is set to be

a productivity powerhouse. But iOS is

very efficient with RAM usage. So, it

would probably be fine. And it also

makes sense as the A20 chip that's

rumored to be inside of the iPhone Ultra

is not expected to bump the RAM to 16 GB

anyways, as it is expected to stick to

the current 12. Also, my M5 iPad Pro

comes with 12 GB of RAM as well. And for

when I'm running two apps side by side,

it's perfectly fine. If I do use stage

manager with a ton of apps opened, then

yes, it actually starts lagging. But for

the iPhone Ultra, which may only run two

apps side by side, I think it will be

fine. Now, Samsung will be the sole

supplier of these 12 GB RAM modules for

the Ultra. And apparently, they've

managed to negotiate a much higher price

for these modules at around $70 for 12

gig. For reference, the 12 GB inside the

iPhone 17 Pro and Air, they only cost

about $30. Given the global shortage of

RAM and the massively increased prices,

that does make a lot of sense. I'm just

hoping that the increased cost won't be

directly handed over to uh all of us the

consumers. Now, some of you may be

wondering, wait, why are we talking

about RAM modules here? Isn't the RAM

built into the iPhone chip? Well, yes

and also no. You see, RAM is built into

the chip packaging, not the silicon die.

So, while the silicon die is

manufactured by TSMC, the RAM that gets

slotted into the packaging is made by a

different manufacturer, in this case

Samsung. Speaking of pricing, we've also

had some leaked figures shared by

Instant Digital and Waybo. The prices

were originally listed in Chinese yen,

but then converted to US. They come out

to roughly $2,320 for the 256 GB model,

then 2610 for the 512, and a staggering

2900 for the 1 TB model. If we also have

a two TB version like the 17 Pro Max,

then it would easily exceed $3,000,

probably being as expensive as a 16-in

OLED MacBook Pro. And yeah, that would

be insane for a phone. Also, I feel like

256 GB is starting to feel a bit low,

especially for a productivity device

like this one. So, I was hoping for a

512 GB minimum for the base model and

then two tiers above it being 1 TB and 2

TB. Now, going back to productivity,

that will be achieved by apparently an

iPad-like UI that would allow you to run

two apps at the same time. Basically,

like I was saying before, uh when the

device is unfolded, according to
