EXPLAINED: Why the first ever foldable iphone is facing severe delays | Vintage Vibes

  • Apple 's long-awaited folding iPhone , rumoured to be called the iPhone Ultra, is facing severe delays, according to an industry report, with customers potentially not receiving it until 2027 despite an expected September unveiling.
  • The device is anticipated to feature a 5.5-inch outside display and a 7.8-inch display when fully extended.
  • It is expected to be the most expensive iPhone on the market, with a high price tag of between $2,300 and $2,500 (£1,700-£1,870).
  • Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s report suggests a lack of inventory means there will be a delay between Apple announcing the new phone and releasing it.
  • He said: “This means the foldable iPhone could sell out immediately after pre-orders open, with delivery lead times quickly stretching to four to six weeks or longer and remaining there through December.”
