The iPhone Ultra is expected to arrive this month as Apple’s first foldable iPhone, and early clues suggest what its form factor may feel like in daily use. According to current rumors, the device will pair a 5.5-inch outer display with a 7.6-inch inner screen when unfolded.
Those measurements match the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, which launched in July with an identical pair of screen sizes. Because the two devices are expected to share nearly the same dimensions, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 offers an early real-world reference point for how the iPhone Ultra could look and feel before Apple’s official reveal.
How the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Compares to Apple Hardware
Reviewers with early access to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 have shared side-by-side comparison photos with other devices. One comparison placed the foldable next to the previous-generation iPad mini, noting that the 7.6-inch inner display uses a 4:3 aspect ratio that matches the iPad mini’s screen size. The key difference is that the foldable folds in half to fit in a pocket, and it does so with slimmer bezels.
Another comparison lined the Galaxy Z Fold 8 up against the iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 13 mini is slightly taller than the folded Samsung device, though both share a compact footprint. For users who missed the discontinued iPhone mini lineup, the iPhone Ultra’s folded profile could offer a similar small-format experience.
What This Suggests for the iPhone Ultra
Because the iPhone Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 8 are expected to be nearly identical in physical size, the Samsung foldable serves as one of the closest available previews of Apple’s design. One notable distinction is that the iPhone Ultra is rumored to feature curved corners rather than a squared-off edge.
For those seeking additional visual references ahead of the launch, dummy model images circulating online provide another way to gauge the device’s proportions. Apple is scheduled to unveil the foldable this month.
