First Foldable Rumors Are All Over The Place
For the longest time, it has been rumored that Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Ultra, would arrive alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September. Recently, a report seemed to back previous claims of a delay, but a reliable leaker has now debunked said report, claiming everything is on track. There is a lot of excitement around the first folding phone from Apple, and a whole lot about the phone has been speculated upon courtesy of endless leaks and rumors.
Another Report Gets Called Out
Alongside those rumors were also talks about a possible short delay. What caused a stir among Apple fans was a report coming out of China claiming a four-month delay, pushing the iPhone Ultra into early 2027. But it looks like the leaker, Fixed Focus Digital, doesn’t agree and has called the report fake. Citing a statement claiming Apple’s first foldable may be delayed, the leaker simply said, “Fake news.” Another statement that claimed a delay until next year got a “Even more absurd” response.
Confidence In The Timeline
Fixed Focus Digital seems confident that the iPhone Ultra will not be delayed, or if it does get delayed, it will only be by a month. Notably, the leaker did not share the source for his confidence in Apple’s launch timeline. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the iPhone Ultra foldable, in September. The base iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2 will be released early next year.
