A new fan-made concept video imagining Apple's rumored foldable iPhone is circulating online, weeks before the company is expected to unveil the device at its annual fall keynote. The video was created by designer Gunhoo Lee to provide a realistic look at what a brief "iPhone Ultra" reveal could look like, showcasing its 7.8-inch inner display, Touch ID authentication, mechanical hinge, dual battery system, and A20 chip. The features and specifications it depicts track closely with months of corroborated rumors.

Apple's foldable iPhone is widely expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max next month, so the real reveal video isn't far away. Popular stories include a Galaxy Z Fold8 review, which Samsung announced last week, a device close to what Apple's foldable "iPhone Ultra" is expected to look like. MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera has been testing Samsung's new foldable, and the wider 4:3 display bodes well for the iPhone Ultra.

Foldable smartphone shipments are expected to grow 20% in 2026, with Apple's first entry cited as a factor. The iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone could sell out fast due to a memory shortage, according to analyst Tim Culpan, with Apple struggling to get enough DRAM and TSMC having $1 billion worth of unpackaged processors waiting on memory chips.
