Apple's Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Supply and Availability Challenges
Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone, possibly named iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, alongside the iPhone 18 series in September 2026. However, supply chain delays, pricing challenges, and testing issues with production models, particularly concerning the hinge and foldable display, may limit initial availability to the US market. Other regions, including India and China, could face later release dates. These details come from reports citing anonymous suppliers, with Apple yet to confirm launch specifics or market availability.
