A preview of the iPhone Fold/Ultra? Huawei’s new Pura X Max | News

Most current foldables follow the classic pattern of a “long smartphone”, including the Galaxy Z Fold6 with a 6.3-inch external display and a very narrow format. However, according to numerous reports, Apple is taking a different approach for the iPhone Fold/Ultra, which may be released this fall: shorter, wider and more like a tablet when opened. Huawei will soon bring a device onto the market that anticipates what we will probably see from Apple in a few months. The Pura X Max relies on a form factor that previous rumor sources predict for the future iPhone.

Key data are known, details are still missing
Huawei has officially teased the device, but has not yet fully presented it with all the specifications. The actual presentation is only announced for April 20, 2026 in China. It is an unusually wide foldable that is intended to focus more on video, multitasking and tablet-like use. Previous reports have provided quite precise information about the displays, which are supposedly 5.5 inches on the outside and 7.69 inches on the inside. In terms of diagonal and proportions, that would be pretty much what is generally expected for the foldable iPhone. Even though the design of the iPhone Fold will certainly be different, you will at least get a taste of the general feel of the construction.

iPhone Reports: Same proportions, half iPhone and half iPad
Last month, Bloomberg reported that Apple is equipping the device with iOS, but wants to borrow a lot of iPadOS. This is how you plan an interface that can display two apps side by side. The external display behaves like a classic iPhone, including the arrangement and use of apps. Apple uses a hole-punch camera for selfies. A dual camera system is expected on the back; there is not enough space for three cameras. There is uncertainty regarding the market launch, as the forecasts range from “September/October” to “as early as the beginning of 2027”.
