Apple's First Foldable iPhone Ultra To Be Available In Extremely Limited Quantities, Capped At Just A Few Hundred Units A Day
Initial production of Apple's long-awaited foldable iPhone is currently running at only a 'few hundred' units a day, largely because of the company's unusually strict quality control standards, sources familiar with the matter told Nikkei Asia in a report.

Apple's highly anticipated foldable iPhone, code-named the Ultra, will be released in extremely limited quantities, with production initially capped at just a few hundred units per day, according to sources familiar with the matter. The report, based on information from Nikkei Asia, suggests that Apple's stringent quality control standards are the primary reason behind the slow production start, despite the company's broader iPhone 18 lineup nearing its autumn launch.
The bottleneck is not due to a shortage of components, but rather the demanding build quality specifications set by Apple, which has kept daily output limited to low hundreds during this early manufacturing phase. This is a stark contrast to Apple's typical production scale, which is expected to reach around 220 million units for the year, including the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the foldable model.
