Apple's Foldable iPhone: 'Ultra' or New Name?

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to launch with a name that reflects its premium status, but speculation is rife regarding the final moniker. While 'iPhone Ultra' has been internally discussed, as reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the author suggests this may not be the final marketing name. The absence of a telephoto camera on the foldable, compared to the iPhone 18 Pro, also raises questions about the 'Ultra' designation's suitability. Alternative names like 'iPhone Duo', 'iPhone Flip', and 'iPhone Flex' have been floated, but the author proposes 'iPhone 18 Pro Fold' as a more fitting option, drawing a parallel with Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
