What happened
Apple is introducing the first-ever foldable iPhone, called the iPhone Ultra, and a new leak indicates it will be available in two colors: silver and dark blue. This represents a new product category for Apple, not an update to an existing iPhone line, so there is no prior version to carry settings or data over from in the traditional sense.

To get the iPhone Ultra, you will need to watch for Apple's official announcement, which is expected next month, and then place an order through Apple's website, an Apple retail store, or a carrier partner once pre-orders open. If you are upgrading from a current iPhone, use Apple's standard iPhone migration process to transfer your data to the new device after you receive it. Choose your color, silver or dark blue, at the time of ordering, as availability per color is not yet confirmed to be equal.
Market and competitive context
The main gotcha here is that details beyond color and the foldable form factor have not been officially confirmed, so be cautious of any third-party listings or pre-order schemes that appear before Apple makes an official announcement. To verify you are getting accurate information, check only Apple's official channels for pricing, availability dates, and technical specifications before committing to a purchase or trade-in.
