Apple Readies 1st Foldable iPhone Ultra for Fall as 20th-Anniversary Pro Leak Points to Thinner Design

Summary

  • Late-July production-line setup for Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra was completed after an early scaling issue was resolved, according to leaker Fixed Focus Digital.
  • That update suggests the first foldable iPhone remains on track for a fall unveiling, though a launch slightly after September and limited initial supply are still possible.
  • Next year’s 20th-anniversary iPhone Pro models are tipped to keep iPhone Air-like thinness, return to glass construction and add a larger vapor chamber.
  • The design leak leaves open questions because current Pro models already mix glass and aluminum, and an Air-style thin profile would mark a notable shift for Apple’s higher-end line.
