Apple is gearing up to introduce its foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, pre-orders for the foldable device may be delayed due to manufacturing challenges. The iPhone Ultra is expected to be available for pre-order in late 2026, echoing the staggered release strategy seen with the iPhone X in 2017. The foldable iPhone could start at a price range of $2,299 to $2,499 and might experience high demand, potentially leading to extended delivery times. Apple plans to ship around 7–8 million units of the foldable iPhone in 2026, while the iPhone 18 Pro models are projected to reach 20–22 million units. The foldable iPhone’s unveiling is anticipated for September, with pre-orders likely opening in October.
Will the iPhone Ultra mirror the iPhone X launch?
