We\u2019ve already seen detailed leaks of the company\u2019s first foray into foldable smartphones, and now we\u2019re getting some more information about the production timeline, as well.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report from The Elec, Apple has finalized the key specifications for the iPhone Ultra and it\u2019s expected to go into mass production by the end of July. This is great news, because there were rumors that the company might delay the launch due to issues with the hinge.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet cites an official from the Taiwanese industry who said that there were slight noises coming from the hinge after durability tests, but \u201cmost of these issues have now been resolved.\u201d It further adds that the iPhone Ultra has passed the final verification stage, and things seem to be on track for a September launch.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has approved a shipment of foldable display units manufactured by Samsung Display, and preparations for mass production are completed up to the module stage, per the report. Meanwhile, it also mentions that the hinge for the upcoming iPhone is being designed and supplied by Taiwan\u2019s Hsinchu Hsing and the US\u2019s Amphenol.<\/p>\n<p>With mass production ready to begin, Apple seems likely to launch the iPhone Ultra at its September event, though some analysts suggest the company might postpone the actual beginning of sales of the phone. The company is also expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max at the same event. Meanwhile, the vanilla iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air will probably debut sometime in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
