DNA Brief

Signal Summary

Gurman made the MagSafe claim in an interview with Tom's Guide. Dummy models that surfaced in April lacked a MagSafe ring, while leaked cases for the foldable device included one; the report also describes the phone as supposedly 4.5 mm thick when open. Apple may announce it with the iPhone 18 Pro models or within weeks afterward.

Why It Matters

If confirmed, MagSafe would give the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra compatibility with Apple’s magnetic charging and accessory ecosystem. The conflicting physical evidence means that compatibility remains unconfirmed, while the unsettled launch timing leaves its relationship to the iPhone 18 Pro release unclear.
