TL;DR
- Apple’s iOS 27 code contains numerous references to the apparent iPhone Ultra foldable.
- The code includes references to a fold state, a second screen, and more.
- iOS 27 itself also has a few features that would work well on a foldable iPhone.
Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone, apparently called the iPhone Ultra, later this year. We’ve already seen unofficial renders and leaked specs, but Apple’s iOS 27 has now dished out even more clues.
Software engineer M1Astra (via Bloomberg) and X user Sam Henri Gold have spotted numerous references to a potential foldable device, likely the iPhone Ultra, in the iOS 27 beta and framework code. For starters, there are references to “foldState,” “angleDegrees,” “mechanicalAngleDegrees,” and “isanglevalid.” Check out Gold’s screenshot below to see some of these hints.
