Today, a report from Channel News emerged that the iPhone Ultra will be launched in the United States only first. This is because Apple is said to not have enough units to sell it to more markets. In the report, Apple is also said to not announce the selling price when it is shown next September.
If these rumors are true, it is not surprising because the Vision Pro is also only sold in the United States at the initial stage before going to more markets. In fact, Samsung also used the same tactic when marketing the Galaxy Z Trifold and Galaxy XR last year.
The price will be announced at a different date due to unresolved production issues. For the past two months, there have been rumors that the devices produced in early tests did not pass the standards set by Apple.
Issues with the folding screen and hinge have caused full-scale production that was supposed to start in June to be delayed to August. Foxconn is said to be still making final adjustments before mass production can begin.
Given the overwhelming response to the wide-screen Z Fold8, it can be assumed that the same response will be given to the iPhone Ultra with the same design. Samsung was previously reported to be increasing production for the Z Fold8 after it received the largest pre-orders in the history of the Fold device.
