While we have seen iPhone Ultra dummy units in the past, the latest mockup units posted by leaker Sonny Dickson include a screen as well. It’s a small detail, but it makes the device look remarkably realistic.On the front, the edge-to-edge outer screen features a centered circular cut-out for the front-facing camera, a first for Apple. The camera on the internal display is pushed far to the left, and the back sports a distinctive horizontal camera bar housing a dual-camera setup.
Crease

The dummy unit seems intent on embodying the real deal as best it can, right down to the faint crease running down the middle of the internal display. Though Apple has gone to great lengths to make the crease as inconspicuous as possible, it’s still going to be there, with one rumor claiming that it will be 0.15 mm deep and have a fold angle of under 2.5 degrees.
The real deal might be better
Dummy units are usually made by accessory makers to test out their products before launch. The company will apparently rely on a structural glass mid-frame and advances in optically clear adhesive (OCA), among other things, to achieve a creaseless look.
Thus, while the crease looks visible in these photos, it may not be that bad on the final product.
Exciting nonetheless
The iPhone Ultra is tipped to feature a 5.5-inch outer screen, a 7.8-inch inner display, Touch ID, a titanium frame, and the A20 chipset. Of course, folding a phone in half requires compromises, so it may not match the absolute top-of-the-line specs of the conventional iPhone 18 Pro.
However, just by virtue of being the first foldable iPhone, it will likely sell like hot cakes.
