A viral photo shows Tom Holland posing with what looks like Apple's rumoured iPhone Ultra. Here's what we found when we checked if the image is genuine.

A photo showing actor Tom Holland taking selfies with fans while holding what appears to be Apple's rumoured iPhone Ultra has gone viral on social media. The image has sparked speculation that the Spider-Man star may have accidentally leaked Apple's next flagship device ahead of its official unveiling, expected later this year. Here is what we found when we looked closely at the image.

The viral photo, explained

This is not the first time a Bollywood or Hollywood connection has fuelled an Apple leak. Last year, Apple's next flagship was inadvertently revealed in a Flipkart ad when director Farah Khan appeared holding a device that closely resembled the then-unreleased iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Tom Holland photo follows a similar pattern, showing the actor holding a phone with a redesigned camera module and an overall look that departs from current iPhone models. Since Apple is widely expected to introduce a major design overhaul with its next-generation iPhones, social media users quickly linked the device in the photo to the rumoured iPhone Ultra, Apple's first foldable phone, expected to launch in September.
