Overview
- Leaker Sonny Dickson posted images on August 8 showing two third-party camera-protector pieces in silver and a very dark blue that are said to match the incoming foldable iPhone.
- The accessories depict the rumored rear camera plateau with two horizontally arranged lenses, a pill-shaped flash and a LiDAR sensor, offering a clearer visual cue about the phone’s rear layout.
- Publishers note these are third-party products made from supply-chain information rather than official Apple photos, so the finishes and details remain unconfirmed until Apple speaks.
- The foldable phone — widely referred to as the iPhone Ultra — is still expected to be unveiled with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup next month, but recent reports of production hurdles mean launch timing and initial availability are not guaranteed.
- This summer’s supply-chain reporting said Apple increased orders for cooling components and tasked Foxconn with final mass-production work, which could explain a limited initial color run and constrain early supply for buyers.
