Summary
September 2026 is shaping up as Apple’s next major iPhone launch window, with rumors pointing to a foldable iPhone Ultra debut alongside iPhone 18 Pro models.
iOS 27 clues shown after WWDC and fresh developer scrutiny have reinforced expectations for the foldable, though reports still differ on whether it ships in September or slips to December.
The rumored Ultra would open from a 5.5-inch outer screen to a 7.8-inch inner display, use a liquid-metal hinge, and reportedly replace Face ID with Touch ID because of its thin 4.5mm design.
Pricing could top $2,000 for the foldable, while Apple is also said to be splitting releases—keeping Pro models in fall 2026 and pushing the base iPhone 18, 18e and likely Air 2 into early 2027.
That staggered schedule would mark a break from Apple’s usual rollout as supply-chain pressure and rising memory costs appear to be shaping both component choices and launch timing.
