More interesting are the presumed colors for the parts. One is silver, which suggests a white model, but the other appears to be a deep shade of blue, either Dark Blue like the iPhone 17 Pro or Midnight like the MacBook Air. Back in April, Macworld reported that Apple was working on an Indigo option for its folding phone similar to the MacBook Neo. It’s hard to tell from the photo which shade of blue the iPhone Ultra will match, but this is the closest we’ve gotten to confirmation of blue instead of black.
Apple’s first dark blue phone was the Midnight iPhone 13 in 2021 and was inspired by the volcanic rock Basalt, according to Evans Hankey, Apple’s then-vice president of industrial design, who has since left the company. The color has since been used on Macs, HomePods, and AirPods.
Apple is expected to unveil the folding iPhone Ultra at its iPhone event in September. Stay tuned to Macworld for all the latest news and rumors leading up to the event.
