Last week, a report from Apple’s supply chain indicated that the iPhone Ultra would be delayed. This was quickly shot down by a leaker over on Weibo, and today there’s a new supply chain report that backs that up.
According to an unnamed source “at an Apple supplier”, the iPhone Ultra will be unveiled in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, just as it was rumored to be countless times so far. A second supply chain source said it had received no indication of a delay.

What all of this most likely means is that the iPhone Ultra will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September but may not be available right away. Perhaps it will be released a few weeks after the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
It wouldn’t be the first time Apple has done something like that, that’s for sure. Anyway, it seems like the iPhone Ultra is still on track for a 2026 release, whether that’s in late September or later in the year.
