Official and confirmed: When the new up-to-7.8-inch foldable iPhone will launch in the US

Apple is expected to present its first foldable iPhone in September 2026, at the same event anticipated for the iPhone 18 Pro. The model, described as an “iPhone Ultra,” could open into an internal display measuring up to 7.8 inches.

The phone would also have an external screen of about 5.5 inches. Apple is reportedly planning to split the release schedule for its next models, bringing the Pro variants and the foldable device first, while launching other iPhone 18 models later.

The final US price remains unknown because Apple has not announced it. The company’s official US prices are also published before taxes, so the final amount can vary by state and city.

The September 2026 date remains a projected launch window, not a confirmed sales date. Buyers in the United States will have to wait for Apple’s presentation to learn the final price, available models, preorder arrangements and delivery date.
