Samsung is reportedly ramping up production of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 after the Z8 series preorder surge, while Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra is expected to use Samsung’s display in a similar book-style design, with a September launch anticipated as the Galaxy foldable leads the way.
MacRumors outlines expected September announcements: iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max with a smaller Dynamic Island, a variable-aperture main camera, a faster A20 Pro chip, and possible modem/N2 networking upgrades; a foldable iPhone codenamed iPhone Ultra with a 5.5-inch outer and 7.8-inch inner display, two batteries, and a 2nm A20 chip; Apple Watch updates including an Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4; possible accompanying home and Mac hardware refreshes (Home Hub, Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini/Full HomePod, etc.); however, a standard iPhone 18 isn’t expected this September, with pricier models taking center stage. The event is likely Sept. 8 or 9, with pre-orders around Sept. 11–12 and launches around Sept. 18.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, is expected to enter mass production by late July with a September launch still on track. The device is said to feature a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel from Samsung and a 5.5-inch cover display, run on an A20 chip with a C2 modem, and use a Touch ID power button with two rear cameras. Hinges from Shin Zu Shing and Amphenol reportedly faced durability and manufacturing-tolerance challenges during testing, but officials say these issues have largely been addressed; the price is rumored around $2,000.
A leaked hands-on video shows a slim 4.5mm-thick design model of Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra, a non-final dummy from a Chinese factory. It reveals a very thin profile and suggests top-mounted volume controls, aligning with prior rumors ahead of a possible September 2026 launch. Reported specs circulating with the leak include a 5.5-inch cover display, 7.8-inch inner OLED, the A20 Pro (TSMC’s 2nm process) with 12GB RAM, side-mounted Touch ID, and a titanium/aluminum frame with a crease-free hinge; pricing is speculated to start around $2,000, though final details remain unconfirmed.
