9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple plans to announce the foldable iPhone, dubbed iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models this fall, but the Ultra may ship several weeks later due to production delays.
- The iPhone Ultra's mass production is behind that of the iPhone 18 Pro, similar to the staggered launch of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X in 2017, though the delay is expected to be shorter this time.
- The foldable iPhone is anticipated to be significantly more expensive, with prices potentially reaching up to $2,500 depending on configuration, driven by its advanced foldable display and hinge technology.
- Apple is producing fewer units of the iPhone Ultra compared to the iPhone 18 Pro, which could allow the company to catch up on supply despite the later start in mass production.
- In related news, several Apple products including MacBooks and iPads are currently available at discounted prices on Amazon during Prime Day sales.
