Summary

  • Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone is expected to use a 5.5-inch outer screen and 7.6-inch inner display, matching Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 dimensions ahead of Apple’s unveiling this month.
  • Those identical sizes make Samsung’s July-launched Fold 8 the clearest proxy yet for how the iPhone Ultra may look and feel in daily use, aside from Apple’s reportedly more curved corners.
  • Reviewer photos compared the Fold 8 with an iPad mini and an iPhone 13 mini, suggesting the device delivers an iPad mini-like inner screen in a pocketable body.
  • For Apple, the comparison sharpens expectations that the foldable could partly fill the gap left by the discontinued iPhone mini while introducing a much larger tablet-style display.
