Apple's first foldable iPhone, the 'iPhone Ultra,' rumored for 2026 launch

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone, potentially named the iPhone Ultra, in 2026. Leaks suggest the device will feature a larger, wider display than current competitors and may incorporate iPad Mini-like multitasking capabilities. Production is said to be ramping up, with an estimated 10 million units planned, though a global RAM shortage could push the release date to late 2026 or early 2027. The premium foldable is expected to be priced between $2,000 and $2,399. AI
