Apple will unveil its foldable iPhone Ultra next week at the September event, but it’s unclear exactly when the new model will ship to users. Here’s what you can expect based on the latest reports. The iPhone Ultra will likely ship in September, but with very limited availability according to reports. Next week, Apple will present its first foldable iPhone model: the iPhone Ultra. Also arriving is the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which are expected to go on sale later that week ahead of wide availability on September 18. But while the iPhone Ultra will be announced at the same event, it’s still unclear whether Apple’s foldable model will actually ship to users at the same time as the iPhone 18 Pro. There have been countless reports in recent months about the timing of the iPhone Ultra’s launch. Fortunately, the latest reports are optimistic, indicating that the device will ship in September, albeit in limited supply. Earlier this month, Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital said supply will be “extremely limited” at launch, but according to its sources in the supply chain, there is no evidence of a delay after September. Similarly, a July report in Cailian News Agency referenced conversations with sources in Apple’s supply chain. “They said there was no change to the delivery date in September, denying rumors of product postponement.” ChannelNews Australia was another recent source that said the device would be available in September, at least in the United States. However, if we look further back, the story changes. Ming Chi-Kuo predicted earlier this summer that the iPhone Ultra will follow a similar strategy to the iPhone X in 2017. Meaning it could be announced in September but ship later in the fall. Macworld heard a similar plan from its sources. And in April, Nikkei Asia generated a lot of buzz by reporting that the foldable device could be delayed by several months to 2027. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman refuted that report and said the device was still “on track” for September. iPhone Ultra Release Schedule: Summary In summary, the latest reports indicate that the iPhone Ultra will ship in September. It may be available in very limited territories and quantities, but early adopters should be able to purchase it soon. When do you expect the iPhone Ultra to be released?
