The first folding iPhone we have been referring to for many months as iPhone UltraThis name is probably the one that appears most often in connection with the upcoming new product, and given the phone's position in the offer Apple makes perfect sense. However, just a few days before its expected launch, another rather interesting possibility is starting to emerge, given the leaks from China. Apple could present his first puzzle as iPhone Duo.

However, it is important to emphasize one important thing right from the start. At this point, there is no concrete evidence to confirm that Apple designation iPhone Duo actually use. So it is more of an option that has now started to appear alongside the existing names iPhone Ultra a iPhone Fold. Yet it is not Duo is far from as absurd as it might seem at first glance. In addition, I think it is good to remember that we have witnessed several times in the past when one name was considered for many months and only a few days before Keynote Another one escaped, who wasonec proved to be real.
Pro I don't have to go too far for a specific example. When Apple ended years ago iPhone mini and replaced it with a larger model, we lived almost until the premiere in the expectation that it would be bigger iPhone appoint iPhone 14 Max by the pattern Pro Max models. However, a few days before the premiere, the "Plus" designation appeared, with which the phone wasonec arrived. Last year, the name was expected iPhone Slim or iPhone 17 Air, with documents leaking just a few days before the premiere claiming that the phone would be called just iPhone Air – and now we all know they were right.

Ultra or Fold, which is used today by, for example, Samsung.
That's why I still think he remains the most likely candidate. iPhone Ultra, which I infer mainly from information from foreign colleagues. For example, former Macworld editor Filipe Espósito already in the spring, citing a source familiar with the plans Apple said that this is what the phone should be called. Reporter Mark Gurman of Bloombergu again claims that the designation iPhone Ultra used for the device by a number of employeesancright inside Apple, but never confirmed that it would also be the final commercial name.
Ultra would also fit nicely into the company's current nomenclature. Apple already offers Apple Watch Ultra, using CarPlay Ultra and the same designation can also be found on its most powerful chips.
