Apple may launch 'Ultra' devices in 2026, including a foldable iPhone

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple plans a slate of higher-end "Ultra" products for 2026, complementing the budget-oriented MacBook Neo. The "Ultra" label echoes existing names like Apple Watch Ultra and M-series Ultra chips and signals a push toward more premium hardware.

At the top of the list is a foldable iPhone expected to cost around $2,000, with both outer and inner displays. The outer screen would measure about 5.5 inches while the unfolded interior would offer a 7.8-inch, 4:3 display, and the device may include in-display touch sensors.

Other anticipated upgrades include next-generation AirPods with computer-vision cameras to feed visual intelligence to Siri, and a touchscreen MacBook Pro with an OLED display that would likely raise prices. A refreshed Mac Studio is also expected in the first half of 2026, with options moving up to M5 Max or M4/M5 Ultra chips.
