iPhone Ultra leakers reveal new details around release and 'extremely limited' availability
The latest iPhone Ultra leaks suggest that availability will be 'extremely limited' at launch.
Apple's rumored foldable iPhone, known by various names such as iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, is expected to make its debut at the Apple September event in just a few weeks. However, a reputable leaker has warned that the production will be extremely limited when the foldable is unveiled next month. According to a July report from Nikkei Asia, Apple aims for a production run of around 10 million units, but suppliers may require 3-5 months to achieve that output.
This could make the foldable phone a difficult item to obtain at launch, potentially causing disappointment for early adopters. This situation may echo what happened with the iPhone X when it launched in 2017, with supply issues due to component bottlenecks and OLED panel production constraints. Early reports suggest that the iPhone Ultra might be available globally from day one, contrary to previous rumors of a limited U.S. launch.
The name 'iPhone Ultra' has been debated among analysts and leakers, with some suggesting it may be reserved for the 20th-anniversary model and its successors. The reveal of Apple's first foldable device is anticipated at the Apple event on September 9, and Tom's Guide will be there to report on the event and provide hands-on impressions when the foldable goes live.
