Multiple outlets report new, but conflicting, expectations for Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone (“iPhone Fold” or “iPhone Fold/Ultra”). Several reports tie the timeline to supply-chain indications, suggesting Apple would announce the device in September 2026 but would not ship it until early 2027. NDTV similarly frames the possible launch as shifting to 2027 and discusses prospective pricing, features, and design, though no official specifications are confirmed in the coverage provided.
AppleInsider presents two differing angles: one article cites supply-chain reporting that points to a 2027 shipping window, while another highlights a “strident leaker” who disputes the delay. The leaker, Fixed Focus Digital, posts on Chinese social media saying reports of a 2027 delay are wrong, directly challenging the earlier rumor that the announcement would occur in September 2026 with shipments later.
Another supply-chain-related claim comes from Economic Daily News, which quotes a lens supplier executive (Largan Precision) indicating some opportunities may be moved to the beginning of next year. Overall, the sources agree the device is still not officially announced, but disagree on whether 2027 reflects a real delay or is incorrect speculation.
