Another rumor claims Apple is working on an ‘iPhone Flip’

As I noted, it’s been reported that the “iPhone Fold” may be delayed until 2027. A new rumor from Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station — as noted by MacRumors — claims it won’t be dubbed the “iPhone Fold” as expected, but will be called the “iPhone Ultra.” Apple also has two “Ultra” products: the Apple Watch Ultra and CarPlay Ultra. And Apple is planning to launch more new “Ultra”-class devices this year, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said in a “Power On” newsletter. He says that they’ll include: ° A MacBook Ultra, a MacBook Pro with an OLED, touchscreen display. ° AirPods Ultra: Gurman says the upcoming, and pricier, version of the current AirPods Pro will feature computer-vision cameras to feed Visual Intelligence data to Siri. In his post, he also said that the foldable iPhone might be dubbed the “iPhone Ultra.” I hope you’ll help support Apple World Today by becoming a patron.

Earlier this month Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Apple was considering an “iPhone Flip,” a foldable smartphone with a ”square, clamshell-style” design. Now the the Weibo user known as “Fixed Focus Digital” makes the same claim.

Gurman said the iPhone Flip would apparently be designed to compete with devices such as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the modern-day Motorola Razr. The “iPhone Flip” would purportedly be released after the rumored “iPhone Fold,” Apple’s first foldable iPhone. The iPhone Fold is likely to arrive later this year and will have a price tag of around US$2,400.
