Overview
- Multiple outlets on Monday cited a Macworld report that Apple will market its first foldable as the iPhone Ultra and unveil it alongside the iPhone 18 Pro in September.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the launch timing remains on track but early supply could be tight for weeks, after Nikkei Asia’s claim of a longer delay that other reporting disputed.
- Leaked dummies and schematics point to a passport-shaped book fold with a roughly 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover screen, hole‑punch selfie cameras, and no visible Face ID hardware.
- Analysts tie likely scarcity and a price well above $2,000 to the complex near‑creaseless Samsung OLED panel and multi‑layer display stack, with an initial run reportedly around 7–8 million units.
- Reports also describe a MacBook Ultra with an OLED touchscreen positioned above MacBook Pro, now expected in early 2027 due to memory supply constraints.
