Apple’s Foldable iPhone Faces Hinge Reliability Roadblock

Trial production of Apple’s first foldable iPhone, reportedly dubbed the iPhone Ultra, has slowed due to hinge reliability issues under repeated opening/closing. Leakers say Apple plans to use Liquid Metal hinge components and is pushing crease-management tech to keep the display crease-free long term. Production is reportedly one to two months behind schedule, with mass production expected to begin in July 2026 and a fall launch at the September event still on track, though customer availability could slip into December.

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in June with a base price around $1,999 and higher-storage variants lifting to about $2,199 (512GB) and $2,499 (1TB), following a quiet recent price increase; competitive foldables from Apple (foldable iPhone Ultra) and Google (Pixel 11 Pro Fold) are rumored to start near $1,999 and $1,899 respectively, with a cheaper Galaxy Fold Wide rumored at $1,799–$1,999.

Foldable iPhone Ultra Leaks: Book-style design teased with big iPad-like inner display

Rumors and dummy models of Apple’s anticipated foldable iPhone, reportedly called iPhone Ultra, show a book-style device with a 4:3 inner display that could be about 7.8 inches open and ~5.5 inches closed. The outer screen is expected around 5.3 inches. Comparisons with the iPhone 17 Pro Max suggest a taller, immersive 16:9 viewing experience, with a thick camera bump and a two-lens system. Features/spec changes under discussion include no Face ID due to space, a Touch ID–integrated power button, and a dedicated Camera Control button. Current leaks place the device at roughly 11mm thick when closed (with some rumors claiming 9–9.5mm) and point to a September launch alongside iPhone 18 Pro models, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman noting a price crossing $2,000 in the U.S.
