No, the foldable iPhone Ultra has not been delayed, claims leakster

Yesterday, reports claimed that the foldable iPhone Ultra will be delayed until early next year – however, leakster Fixed Focus Digital believes these reports are false.

According to FFD’s sources, production capacity is limited, but that doesn’t mean that the announcement has been delayed. Instead, the Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September as originally planned.

The actual release of the foldable may be delayed, but only by a month at most, claims the leakster. As we mentioned yesterday, something like this has happened before – the iPhone X was announced in September with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus and it was released in November.

Reports of the foldable iPhone being delayed are nothing new – we’ve been seeing them for years. For this year specifically, both Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Barclays’s Tim Long have indicated that a September release might not happen – Long has suggested that it may take until December for Apple to actually start shipping units. And with limited availability, you may not be able to get one until next year, anyway.
