Here is your first look at what seems to be a leaked replica of the white foldable iPhone Ultra. This dummy unit reveals a bizarre camera plateau design, which is unlikely to make it to the final units Apple is said to unveil in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.
Following our first look at iPhone 18 Pro design units, which revealed the colors Apple is reportedly going with this year, we now have our first look at what seems to be a low-quality replica of the foldable iPhone Ultra.
The images reveal the model in white, which is indeed one of two expected colors for the foldable iPhone, as Apple is said to be planning to stay away from fun colors and stick to more traditional space gray/black and silver/white for its first foldable device.
What stands out in the leaked dummy image (which we upscaled using AI) is that the iPhone Air-like camera plateau seems to be glued onto the back of the dummy unit. Of course, this approach to the camera bump installation should be far from the final design. Unless new Apple CEO John Ternus has a twisted sense of humor and wants to sell the camera separately.

Martin is a professional smartphone nerd since he got his first “real” smartphone, the Galaxy Young. Although Martin is getting older, his enthusiasm and analytical eye for a phone spec sheet is holding up nicely.
AI has already stolen several of Martin’s jobs. But don’t worry! He took revenge by switching back to a dumb toothbrush – the kind you have to swing back and forth until your teeth are clean.
Martin started writing about tech in 2021, hitting “publish” on nearly 800 feature articles in four years. Possibly a Guinness world record. Or at least a Heineken.
