Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Expected with Larger Screen, Limited Colors, and Production Challenges

Apple is expected to launch its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Ultra, possibly in September 2026. Leaks suggest a wider, tablet-like design with a larger battery and liquid metal hinge technology, making it thicker than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold. The device may come in only two understated colors, similar to the iPhone X's initial palette. Production challenges could limit shipments until 2027, potentially affecting availability and pricing.
