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.
