Summary

  • A week before Apple’s September event, Mark Gurman said the iPhone Ultra should launch alongside the new Pro models or within weeks, dismissing talk of delays into late October or November.
  • Gurman said the foldable will keep MagSafe and pair a 5.5-inch cover screen with a 7.8-inch inner display, plus Apple’s latest Pro chip and modem.
  • On hardware, he described a nearly crease-free panel and a liquid-metal hinge, saying Apple’s goal was durability close to a standard iPhone.
  • iOS 27 is expected to add iPad-like multitasking, including side-by-side apps and drag-and-drop between on-screen apps, while pricing is still seen starting above $2,000.
