iPhone Ultra Specs Leaked Ahead of Apple Event Launch

Ahead of the Apple Event titled "Surprise and Shine" scheduled for September 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (midnight on September 10 in Thailand), tech enthusiasts and media outlets have increasingly turned their attention to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8. Current industry forecasts and supply chain reports suggest that Apple's upcoming foldable device will share striking dimensional similarities with Samsung's flagship.

Looking at the specific measurements of the Galaxy Z Fold8 released in July 2026, it features a 5.5-inch outer display with a 10:16 aspect ratio and a 7.6-inch inner foldable screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. In comparison, reports indicate that the iPhone Ultra will match the outer screen at 5.5 inches, while its inner display will measure approximately 7.8 inches—differing by just 0.2 inches from Samsung's counterpart.

In terms of physical dimensions, the Galaxy Z Fold8 measures 81.9 x 123.9 x 9.7 millimeters when folded and slims down to 4.5 millimeters when unfolded, weighing in at 201 grams. These exact figures align closely with reports stating that Apple is targeting a 4.5-millimeter thickness for the iPhone Ultra when unfolded. Supply chain sources indicate that to achieve this ultra-slim profile, Apple has chosen to remove the Face ID sensor system from the inner screen, reverting instead to a side-mounted Touch ID button.
