Apple Foldable iPhone Delay Rumors Called False as Leaker Backs September Launch, $2,000 Price

Summary
Fixed Focus Digital said reports that Apple’s foldable iPhone has been pushed into next year are false, and maintained the device is still most likely to debut with the iPhone 18 lineup in September.
The leaker added that even if timing slips, the delay would probably be only about one month, pushing back sale availability rather than the expected unveiling.
That view counters earlier reports from Mark Gurman and Barclays analyst Tim Long, who had suggested the foldable might ship after the September iPhone event, possibly as late as December.
Durability concerns around the hinge have been cited as the main late-stage obstacle, even as Apple is believed to have largely addressed display-creasing issues.
The book-style device is widely rumored to carry a 7.8-inch inner screen, 5.5-inch cover display and roughly $2,000 price, potentially under an iPhone Ultra name.
