Those appear to have been mistaken, however, as there\u2019s now\u00a0a clear consensus that any delay in the upcoming premium model going on sale will be a short one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another supply chain source backs this, citing a number of Chinese suppliers reporting that their work on the foldable iPhone is proceeding to schedule for a September launch. Cailian News Agency reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were rumors in the market in early July that the release of the Apple foldable had been postponed, caused by well-known analysts\u2019 prediction that production capacity limitations would see shipments of only 500,000 to 1 million units in the early third quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, on July 8, the reporter of Cailian News Agency asked a number of Apple supply chain enterprises for confirmation. People in the industry chain responded that the design and production of the folding phone had entered peak production. They said that there was no change in the delivery time date in September, denying rumors of product postponement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources were quoted as saying they hadn\u2019t heard of any delay and that September delivery would be \u201cno problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this is to say that the uber-expensive folding iPhone won\u2019t be in short supply. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that initial supply may not meet early demand, leading to shipping times of four to six weeks or more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While customers will no doubt be impatient if this does prove to be the case, I\u2019ve argued that it wouldn\u2019t necessarily be a bad thing from Apple\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Via MacRumors. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/07\/08\/no-delay-to-iphone-ultra-says-supply-chain-report\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No delay to iPhone Ultra, says supply-chain report https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/07\/08\/no-delay-to-iphone-ultra-says-supply-chain-report\/ Publish Date: 2026-07-08 08:14:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":287137,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/iphone-ultra-fold.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-287136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287136"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":287138,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287136\/revisions\/287138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
