Newly leaked schematics indicate that Apple’s long rumored foldable iPhone, widely referred to as the iPhone Ultra, may be slimmer than earlier estimates suggested. The details come from a casing manufacturer leak, offering a clearer look at the device’s physical dimensions ahead of any official announcement.
The measurements point to a folded thickness of around 9.23 millimeters, including the camera bump reaching roughly 13 millimeters at its thickest point. This is slightly thinner than previous reports, which had placed the device between 9.5 and 9.8 millimeters when folded, as reported by PhoneArena.
For context, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures about 8.9 millimeters when folded, though its camera bump extends thickness to around 14 millimeters. This suggests Apple may be focusing on reducing bulk in key areas, particularly around the camera module, where foldable devices often struggle with design constraints.

The leak does not confirm internal specifications or materials, but it aligns with expectations that Apple will prioritize a refined form factor for its first foldable device. Achieving a thinner profile is considered critical in the foldable category, where devices must balance durability, hinge design, and battery capacity within a compact structure.
Apple’s entry into the foldable market has been delayed compared to competitors, placing additional pressure on the company to deliver a polished product. Industry observers expect that the first foldable iPhone will need to meet high standards in build quality and usability to compete with established models from Samsung and others.
The design direction may also influence the broader market. Competing manufacturers, including Huawei and Samsung, are already exploring wider foldable formats that resemble small tablets when unfolded. Apple’s interpretation of this form factor could shape how the segment evolves in the coming years.
While the leaked schematics provide an early look at the device, final specifications may change before launch. As with most pre release information, the details remain unconfirmed until Apple officially introduces the product.
