Key point — Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone Ultra, its first foldable smartphone, at "Surprise and Shine" on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.
Why it matters — Pricing expected above $2,000 (possibly up to $2,500), plus reports of possibly limited supply, show Apple positioning the foldable as its ultimate premium product line, not a mass-market model.
What's changed from earlier reports — The crease hasn't disappeared entirely as once rumored, just made less noticeable, and the device uses Touch ID instead of Face ID due to its 4.5mm thinness.
Quick specs — A20 Pro chip, dual-lens Wide + Ultra Wide camera, iOS 27 adapted for foldables, 2 colors (white/silver, dark blue), MagSafe support.
