Apple has maintained tighter secrecy around the iPhone Ultra than the iPhone Air, but component leaks have finally surfaced. Two separate leakers — Lusi Roy and Findmeow~ on Weibo — have posted images appearing to show the same motherboard. Lusi Roy shared a 10-second video and annotated stills, while Findmeow~ posted a schematic attributed to Mijing Tools, a Chinese iPhone repair firm. The annotations align between both leaks, suggesting authenticity, though Apple typically shares repair data closer to launch. MacRumors first spotted the Lusi Roy leak.

If genuine, this supports expectations that Apple will announce its first folding iPhone on September 9, 2026. However, verification requires physical teardown of the costly device. The detailed nature of both leaks — one photographic, one schematic — makes a coordinated hoax possible but unlikely given the launch proximity.
