Leaked screen protectors for Apple’s rumored foldable “iPhone Ultra” have surfaced, offering one of the clearest looks yet at the device’s distinctive front design. Shared this week by the leaker known as Ice Universe, the accessories and accompanying hands-on video highlight asymmetric corners and a single punch-hole camera placement that align with earlier rumors about the upcoming foldable iPhone.
This is the screen protector for the iPhone Ultra. You can see, the iPhone Ultra actually has an irregular screen with one side square and the other round. Oh my God, can you even handle that? pic.twitter.com/qpQHZHiqcD

The protectors feature square corners along the edge that would sit next to the hinge and rounded corners on the opposite side. This irregular shape matches months of reports describing a book-style foldable with the hinge on one side. Ice Universe noted that the film covers the full glass panel rather than matching the active display area precisely. The actual screen is still expected to maintain symmetrical rounded corners and even bezels all around.
The accessories also reinforce the device’s shorter, wider proportions compared to traditional smartphones. A single circular cutout for the front-facing camera appears on the right side of the panel instead of the center. Earlier speculation had left open the possibility of a centered cutout, but these protectors provide stronger evidence for the offset placement.
Because the iPhone Ultra is widely expected to rely on Touch ID rather than Face ID, it does not require the larger TrueDepth sensor array found on recent iPhones. This opens the door to a simple hole-punch selfie camera — the first of its kind on an iPhone.
These details follow recent leaks of protective covers for the device’s rear camera module, shown in silver and dark blue finishes. Broader rumors surrounding the iPhone Ultra point to a 5.5-inch outer cover display paired with a 7.8-inch inner screen, an A20 Pro chip, a roughly 5,000mAh battery, a 48-megapixel dual rear camera system, and 18-megapixel selfie cameras on both displays. The foldable is anticipated to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in mid-September at a starting price of at least $2,000.
MacDailyNews Note: While accessory leaks can sometimes reflect manufacturing variations or early prototypes, the consistency with prior reports makes these screen protectors a notable data point in the ongoing iPhone Ultra rumor cycle. As always with unreleased products, official confirmation will come only when Apple unveils the device.

“iPh Ultra”. seems like a “lazy” tag? W/o button-holing, why not have some inference to its abilities/function/design?
While on the topic, iPhone Pro is hardly imaginative and quite safe.
Yes, both 1st World perspectives.
