# iPhone Ultra launch may be US-only due to supply issues 2026-08-14T06:41:12+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Apple’s first foldable iPhone, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra, may initially launch only in the United States due to supply, testing, and pricing problems, according to a report by ChannelNews Australia cited by Livemint. A Chinese component supplier told the outlet that the delay is “primarily down to supply and pricing issues” and that Apple is also facing testing issues with built models. The phone could debut at an event around 8 or 9 September alongside the iPhone 18 lineup, but retail availability outside the US may come later, possibly in China and other key markets. According to luxury brand Caviar, the iPhone Ultra will feature a 5.3-inch outer display, a 7.8-inch inner display with 120Hz LTPO OLED, an A20 Pro processor, 12GB RAM, a 5,800mAh battery, and dual 48MP rear cameras. ## Coverage - gadgets360.com - livemint.com Tags: Apple, foldable iPhone, iPhone Ultra, pricing, supply issues, US launch Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/apple-foldable-iphone-ultra-may-be-us-only-at-launch/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
