Reports suggest that while the iPhone Ultra will be revealed alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series, supply chain timing may delay its retail availability until later in the year.

Why this matters

A delayed launch for the high-end foldable could impact Apple's holiday quarter sales and indicates the technical complexity of the new hardware design.

Confidence reason

The report is based on supply chain sources and aligns with Apple's historical pattern of staggered releases for new form factors.
