Summary
Sept. 18 is the planned on-sale date for Apple’s iPhone Ultra, a foldable priced above $2,000 that Apple says removes the visible screen crease that has dogged the category since 2019.
A liquid-metal hinge and display stack are central to that claim: the reported design spreads the bend across a teardrop cavity and lets the panel return flatter, reducing the optical ridge seen on rival foldables.
At 4.8mm when open, the device reportedly drops Face ID for a side-button Touch ID sensor, while a 7.8-inch 4:3 inner screen aims to support more tablet-like two-app layouts.
Apple is expected to unveil the phone at a Sept. 8 or 9 keynote, backed by iOS 27 fold-state APIs, an A20 Pro chip built on 2nm, and 12GB of RAM.
Supply may be the bigger constraint than demand: leakers say Apple could need three to five months to reach a 10 million-unit production target, making early availability uncertain before the holidays.
