[Apple's First Foldable Model Delayed to Early 2027? Company Responds]

Published: Jun 16, 2026 09:24
Sources say that Apple's (AAPL.O) first foldable model, the iPhone Ultra, has been delayed from its originally scheduled launch in fall 2026 to early 2027, with the delay primarily due to hinge design and PCB process issues. A technical advisor at Apple's official hotline stated, "We have not yet received any information regarding the release of a foldable product or its launch timing. Media reports or self-media leaks seen online are not necessarily accurate and do not represent Apple's official position. If there had been news from the supply chain a month ago, for example confirming that the model was finalized, then the product would basically be considered confirmed.

[SMM Shanghai Spot Copper] Looking ahead to next week, the tight supply-side pattern is expected to continue supporting spot premiums. According to SMM, from October to November, multiple domestic copper smelters will successively enter planned maintenance periods. Against the backdrop of persistently tight supply of copper concentrates and blister copper and copper anode, production and shipment pace at some smelters may be affected to a certain extent, limiting growth in available market supply. Meanwhile, port congestion in Shanghai has not yet fully eased, and the arrival pace of imported copper still carries some uncertainty, making it difficult for imported supply to see a significant near-term increase. On the demand side, with copper prices staying high, downstream purchases remain primarily need-based, with limited acceptance of high premiums. Overall, if arrivals do not increase significantly next week, spot premiums in the Shanghai market are expected to continue to consolidate at highs.
