  "summary": "Apple's foldable iPhone, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra, is expected to be launched on September 9, 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. According to the Daily Times, the device could cost between $2,000 and $2,500.\n\nThe price of the iPhone Ultra has been leaked in various countries, with Vodafone Egypt listing the starting price at 155,750 Egyptian pounds, which translates to just over $3,000, as reported by Tom's Guide. In Australia, Vodafone listed the base model at AU$3,699, which converts to roughly $2,666.\n\nBloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, as quoted by Tom's Guide, predicted that the iPhone Ultra would start at $1,999. Initial production of the foldable iPhone is currently limited to only a \"few hundred\" units a day due to Apple's strict quality standards, according to Nikkei Asia.",
