Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if Apple officially releases a foldable smartphone marketed under the name "iPhone Ultra" by December 31, 2027. It resolves to NO if Apple releases a foldable device with a different name, or if no foldable iPhone is released by that date.

The primary source for resolution will be official press releases from Apple (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/). If a device is announced, the branding on the official product page will be considered the definitive name.

Background

While Apple has filed numerous patents related to foldable display technology and hinge mechanisms, the company has not officially confirmed plans to enter the foldable smartphone market. Industry analysts and supply chain reports have long speculated about a potential foldable device, with some rumors suggesting Apple is developing a foldable iPad or a high-end foldable iPhone. The "Ultra" branding has been used by Apple for the Apple Watch Ultra, leading to speculation that a premium, high-specification foldable model could adopt the same naming convention.
