Chinese leaker Ice Universe posted a Weibo image that appears to show the iPhone Ultra in a white finish. The photo likely depicts a dummy unit, but it matches Instant Digital’s claim that white is the only confirmed color so far. Apple plans limited production of its foldable iPhone later this year, and sees the white variant as a safe bet for early adopters.

Supply‑chain chatter suggests the second shade will be an indigo tone reminiscent of the iPhone 17 Pro’s Deep Blue. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple will avoid “fun” colors, echoing the two‑tone rollout of the 2017 iPhone X. Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo warns that manufacturing hurdles could throttle output through 2026, making additional colors costly. Such restraint mirrors Apple’s historic color strategies for flagship launches.

Pricing rumors place the iPhone Ultra above $2,000, and launch supply is expected to be tight. With a premium price tag, color choice matters less to buyers, and Apple likely prefers a streamlined lineup. At that price point, color rarely drives buying. The device will debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max this September, cementing Apple’s entry into the foldable market.
