A Chinese leaker claims Apple’s battery supplier registered two cells totaling about 4,883mAh (roughly 4.8–5.0Ah) for a foldable iPhone, suggesting a dual-cell, book-style design and fueling expectations for an iPhone Ultra launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September; this figure sits near rival foldables and contradicts earlier rumors of even larger packs, leaving the exact capacity still uncertain.
Rumors say Apple's first foldable iPhone Ultra will debut this fall (September 2026) with a 7.8-inch main display and a 5.5-inch exterior screen, a thinner unfolded body, a new hinge, Touch ID in the lock button instead of Face ID, and a tweaked iOS 27 supporting side-by-side multitasking; production is said to be ramping toward about 10 million units with sales likely from late 2026, and a high price around $2,000–$2,399.
Supply-chain sources say the iPhone Ultra is on track for a September release with no major delays, though initial stock may be limited and demand could outpace early supply; the foldable iPhone is also progressing toward a September launch.
Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra is reportedly in mass production with the design locked and no delay in sight, and a September debut remains likely as Foxconn ramps up hiring; the device is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, an A20 chip, a C2 modem in some markets, and a Touch ID power button, with a starting price around $2,000–$2,500 and initial shipments potentially smaller as Apple targets about 10 million units this year.
Rumors suggest Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra could launch at about $2.3K–$2.5K and, when opened, reveal a 7.8-inch 4:3 OLED display roughly the size of an iPad mini, signaling a blend of iPhone and iPad features ahead of the September event.
Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo says Apple's first foldable iPhone, likely named the Ultra, will be announced in September with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup but won’t ship for about a month. He pegs the Ultra’s price at roughly $2,300–$2,500—about double the iPhone 17 Pro Max—and despite the high cost, he expects strong demand that could cause immediate sellouts and 4–6 week delivery times through year-end.
Two rumored Apple devices—the iPhone Ultra, a foldable iPhone that could function like an iPad mini when unfolded, and the MacBook Ultra, a touchscreen-enabled MacBook Pro—could gradually reshape the iPad’s role by pushing foldables and touchscreen Macs into Apple's lineup, potentially cannibalizing the iPad over time even if the initial impact remains modest.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra will launch with severely limited stock (about 7–8 million units for 2H26, 0.5–1 million in Q3), making a September release unlikely. Delivery could take 4–6 weeks or longer, with December availability at best, and scalpers pricing the device 50–100% above retail; full availability is expected to improve by early 2027.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple's foldable iPhone, reportedly named iPhone Ultra, will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro/Max but pre-orders may not begin until late 2026 due to manufacturing challenges; price is expected around $2,299–$2,499, with suppliers shipping roughly 7–8 million foldables in 2026 versus 20–22 million iPhone 18 Pro models, and a September reveal with October availability is likely, echoing the iPhone X launch timeline.
Apple plans to produce up to 10 million foldable iPhone Ultra units this year, boosting total iPhone production to about 220 million alongside 70 million iPhone 18 Pro/Max models; IDC forecasts around 240 million iPhone shipments for the year, with the Ultra likely priced up to $3,000 for high-storage variants as Apple secures components amid chip shortages.
Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman says Apple’s September 2026 event is likely to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro alongside a foldable iPhone (likely branded as Ultra or Fold), with two possible launch dates of September 8 or September 9, 2026 and pre-orders around September 11; the iPhone 18 and Air 2 are expected to slip to spring 2027, and new Apple Watch models (Series 12 and Ultra 4) are also anticipated.
Apple expects a September 2026 debut for two flagships: the iPhone 18 Pro with LTPO Plus displays, a smaller Dynamic Island, 48MP main camera with variable aperture, and the A20 Pro chip; and the iPhone Ultra Fold, a passport-style foldable with a 5.5-inch external display and 7.8-inch interior display, dual 48MP cameras, all powered by the A20 Pro and C2 5G modem, with pricing starting around $2,500.
A new report claims Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra will be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro but ship later, with mass production behind the Pro and a potential price as high as $2,500 due to its foldable display, meaning the Ultra may arrive weeks after the Pro and in lower volumes.
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.
Apple’s iPhone Ultra is reportedly entering mass production in late July, with a September unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 Pro/Max. After hinge issues were resolved and key specs finalized, Foxconn will produce the initial batch, with first-round trial production already completed in April; a simultaneous launch at the September event remains likely, though exact timing for the Ultra relative to the Pro models is still unclear.
