Apple’s first foldable iPhone, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra

No regular iPhone 18 tonight? Apple’s release strategy could be different this year
Apple could take a different approach to its iPhone launch schedule in 2026. Instead of unveiling the entire iPhone 18 family in September, the company is expected to put the spotlight on its premium models and its first foldable iPhone.
September 2026
→ iPhone 18 Pro
→ iPhone 18 Pro Max
→ Foldable iPhone / iPhone Ultra
The regular iPhone 18 could reportedly arrive at a later date, potentially alongside a new-generation iPhone Air. If this strategy plays out, Apple’s September event would mark a significant shift from its traditional annual iPhone launch cycle.
