Apple to Launch First Foldable iPhone Alongside iPhone 18 Pro on September 9
Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable phone, possibly named iPhone Ultra, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max on September 9. The foldable device is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch main display and a 5.5-inch outer screen with a book-style fold, competing directly with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. Pricing in India may range between Rs. 1,90,000 and Rs. 2,50,000. Manufacturing challenges could delay its retail release to October. Apple is reportedly using titanium and aluminium for a slim design and preparing iOS 27 to support foldable functionality.
