Unbox Therapy released a ten‑minute video that peels back the mystery surrounding Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone Ultra. The footage showcases a dummy unit that mirrors the speculated passport‑like closed ratio and tablet‑like open form. While the hardware isn’t a final blueprint, the clip offers a tangible sense of the device’s heft and handling.

The unit measures 117 mm tall, 84.27 mm wide, and 11.02 mm thick when closed, expanding to 16.57 mm with the camera bump and thinning to roughly 5.2 mm when unfolded. Unbox Therapy also demonstrates the hinge’s wobble on a tabletop in both states, probes speaker placement, and examines button reachability—critical details for a pocket‑sized foldable.

These measurements and ergonomic tests hint at how Apple might balance portability with screen real‑size and durability. If the Ultra follows this prototype, consumers could expect a 5‑inch‑plus display that folds into a pocket‑friendly 4‑inch snap‑down, while still accommodating speaker‑rich audio and accessible controls. The video confirms that a foldable iPhone is not just a gimmick but a viable, everyday form.

Industry watchers note that the dummy’s dimensions align closely with earlier leaks from Sonny Dickson, reinforcing speculation that the Ultra will carry a unique 1.6‑inch hinge and a camera bump that accounts for the extra thickness. As foldable patents pile up, Apple’s design choices here will influence competitors’ next‑generation devices.
