Apple’s first foldable iPhone is still expected to debut in September 2026, aligning with the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, despite earlier rumors of potential delays. Recent information indicates that Apple has begun receiving initial component shipments for the foldable device, with no signs of postponement. Although some engineering challenges, particularly with the hinge mechanism, have been reported, Apple appears to be addressing these issues as the release date approaches. The foldable iPhone is anticipated to feature a 7.8-inch main display, a 5.5-inch cover display, and advanced components like the A20 chip. Priced around $2,000, the device may be branded as the “iPhone Ultra.” While a staggered launch is possible, with the foldable iPhone potentially shipping later than the flagship models, Apple is likely to unveil the entire lineup during its annual September event.
