Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra will be unveiled in just a few weeks and new leaks cover what to expect from launch timing, availability and product name. The iPhone Ultra will likely still launch in September, but with limited availability. Over the weekend, several reputable Weibo leakers shared new posts related to the iPhone Ultra. Fixed Focus Digital echoed what we’ve been hearing about potential supply constraints. He writes that the initial batch will have “extremely limited” stock. The leaker points to previous reports about Apple’s goal of producing 10 million units and says it could take suppliers 3-5 months to reach that goal. Therefore, it can be very difficult to get the product at the time of launch. In a separate post, he comments on the report that the iPhone Ultra could initially ship only in the US. According to his sources, Apple has never hinted at a delay with Chinese suppliers. Instead, despite some challenges with hinge assembly, mass production seems to be going well. Therefore, he believes that the launch will remain a global thing at first. Together, the two posts provide a nuanced expectation for release timing and availability. It seems that, from what the leaker understands, the iPhone Ultra will be released in September, probably in more countries than the US, but supply will be quite limited. On a related note, leaker Instant Digital has now expressed doubt that the ‘iPhone Ultra’ name will be used for the foldable. He says he hopes the ‘Ultra’ name will be reserved for the 20th anniversary model and its successors. However, its publication appears to be largely speculative. He mentions Apple’s previous uses of ‘Ultra’ in product naming and is skeptical that the foldable deserves the name. What do you expect Apple’s foldable iPhone to be called?
