The much-anticipated foldable iPhone Ultra is expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but its official launch may not coincide with these models. This strategy mirrors Apple’s 2017 launch of the iPhone X, which was announced alongside the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus but saw a delayed release. Pre-orders for the foldable iPhone could potentially begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with demand likely to cause extended delivery times. Apple has increased its production target to around 10 million units, with prices for the device estimated to start between $2,299 and $2,499. The foldable iPhone is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch cover display, Touch ID, an A20 chip, and Apple’s C2 modem.
