Evidence of Apple's first foldable smartphone, reportedly called iPhone Ultra, has appeared in iOS 27 beta code with references to a multi-battery setup and battery health monitoring. The code includes warnings for degraded battery health below 80 percent and checks for non-genuine Apple battery components, suggesting advanced power management for the device.
Why it matters: Apple's entry into the foldable smartphone market would represent a major shift in the premium device category and could reshape competitive dynamics against Samsung and other foldable makers.
