The foldable iPhone remains on track for a September debut, according to the China Securities Journal — as noted by DigiTimes.
The article says that Apple has just started delivering components in small batches for Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Purportedly, the device — rumored to be dubbed either the “iPhone Fold” or “iPhone Ultra” — will arrive alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Mac.
The “standard” (non-Pro) iPhone 18 is expected to arrive in early 2027 alongside an iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2.
Here’s a round-up of rumors about the foldable iPhone:
° It will use a dual-layer, ultra-thin glass structure to reduce display crease visibility.
° Apple will offer the iPhone Fold/Ultra in three different storage capacities.
° The foldable smartphone will purportedly be offered in 236GB, 512GB, and 1TB options for US$2,320, $2,610, and $2,900, respectively.
° It will feature an interior foldable display roughly the size of an iPad mini. There also will be an external screen that’s about the size of the display on a small iPhone.
° Apple is developing new iOS app layouts and revamping its core iPhone programs to add sidebars along the left edge of the screen, similar to many of its iPad apps.
° The iPhone Fold/Ultra will have: a 7.8-inch inner display; a crease depth controlled to under 0.15 mm; and a crease angle under 2.5 degrees.
