Apple’s upcoming “Surprise and Shine” event is expected to feature the company’s first foldable iPhone, though the device’s official name remains a mystery heading into the announcement. Tech industry observers and media outlets have been speculating about the product’s identity for months, with three primary names emerging as frontrunners in discussions.
The three leading candidates are iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra, and iPhone Duo. When Uchemedia readers were surveyed about their predictions, 38 percent favored iPhone Ultra, while 27 percent believed it would be called iPhone Fold and 30 percent selected other options. Despite its intuitive logic, iPhone Fold faces competition due to Samsung’s existing Galaxy Z Fold line, which could create consumer confusion. Apple typically avoids naming conventions that directly echo competitor products.
Industry insiders, including well-connected Apple analyst Mark Gurman, have indicated that employees within the company frequently refer to the device as iPhone Ultra internally. Additionally, reports suggest Apple is developing a new Ultra product category that would encompass this foldable model. However, recent speculation has introduced iPhone Duo as a possible surprise announcement, adding uncertainty to predictions made over the previous months.
The actual name will be revealed imminently, putting an end to months of conjecture among technology enthusiasts and media professionals alike.
