Apple’s first foldable iPhone could support MagSafe charging despite its reported ultra-thin design. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is likely to include MagSafe on the device, which is widely expected to be called the iPhone Ultra.
Apple is expected to introduce its first foldable iPhone at the company’s September 9 event, alongside the iPhone 18 series and new Apple Watch models.
In a conversation with Tom’s Guide, Gurman said Apple is likely to include MagSafe charging support on its first foldable iPhone. This would allow the purported foldable to use Apple’s magnetic charging accessories despite its thin construction.
However, leaked renders and dummy units so far do not show the familiar MagSafe magnetic ring. This has raised questions about whether Apple could fit the technology into the device.
Gurman reportedly believes Apple can make the feature work because the company has already integrated MagSafe into the much slimmer iPhone Air.
The iPhone Ultra is expected to be around 4.5mm thick when unfolded, making the reported MagSafe support notable given the space constraints of a foldable design.

The device is also expected to feature a book-style folding design, with a display measuring around 7.8 inches when unfolded and roughly 5.5 inches when folded.
Other reports point to a dual rear-camera setup and Touch ID instead of Face ID.
The foldable iPhone is expected to carry a significant price premium over Apple’s existing models. Earlier reports suggested a starting price of around USD 2,000, or roughly Rs. 1.9 lakh, although the final India pricing remains unknown.
Apple is also reportedly not planning a dedicated Apple Pencil for the device.
Repairability could also prove challenging. A recent report suggested that replacing the foldable iPhone’s inner screen could be substantially more expensive than repairing a conventional iPhone because of the complexity and cost of its foldable display assembly.
With its reported slim profile, large inner screen and MagSafe support, the iPhone Ultra could mark Apple’s entry into the increasingly competitive foldable smartphone market.
