Summary
End-July mass production is now expected for Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra, keeping the book-style device aligned with a planned September debut despite recent delay speculation.
Hinge testing had raised concerns after millions of folds produced slight noise and wider assembly tolerances lifted defect rates, but industry sources cited by The Elec said most issues have been addressed.
Samsung is supplying the 7.8-inch foldable OLED panel, which uses a thinner display design, while Shin Zu Shing and Amphenol are providing 3D-printed hinges.
The device is expected to add a 5.5-inch cover display, A20 chip, C2 modem, Touch ID power button and two rear cameras, with pricing rumored around $2,000.
