A new leak claims Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, could bring back a red finish, but the images raise more questions than they answer.
On Wednesday, longtime Apple leaker Evan Blass suggested that Apple will revive a much-missed color for its yet-unannounced iPhone Ultra. In his post to X, he showcases a few renders of the iPhone Ultra in white, black, and red.
It’s notable, as Apple hasn’t released a red iPhone since 2022, when it released the iPhone 14 and iPhone SE 3 as part of a (PRODUCT)RED partnership.
Blass’ image is not an official render. A charitable read is that it’s a mockup of a rumor; at worst it’s a complete fabrication.
The battery icon, for example, is not what we’re expecting to see in iOS 27. It’s not what you’d see in iOS 26, either.

It seems likely that the images are AI-generated. So take the rumor with a grain of salt, especially because no other rumors have corroborated such an idea.
In fact, more rumors have suggested that the device could come in a single color: white.
Regardless of whether or not Apple releases one color or three, the device will sell out quickly anyway.
Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra on September 9 at 10:00 am PDT and 1:00 pm EDT as part of its “Surprise and shine” event. You can learn how and when to tune in with our helpful guide.
