Fixed Focus Digital says the iPhone Fold is still aimed at a September 2026 launch, and the leak keeps Iphone Ultra timing on the same track after production problems were said to be resolved. For buyers watching Apple’s foldable plans, the practical takeaway is simple: the timetable has not slipped, even after earlier delay talk. Apple Iphone Ultra links 2026 foldable launch to Sept. 8 debut

On Weibo, Fixed Focus Digital said, "The foldable project faced production challenges during the initial manufacturing phase [as] a small batch was produced for testing" and later added, "While ramping up output was initially difficult, the hurdles were overcome, and the issue is now resolved."
Apple’s early-2026 model
The leaker also said the final production model will remain much as Apple had it planned early in 2026, which points to manufacturing being stabilized without a visible redesign for launch.
That matters because the report says multiple component manufacturers were still producing for Apple and had not been told of any significant delay, so the supply chain picture lines up with a September 2026 window rather than a reset.
September 2026 timing
The tension comes from earlier reports that a hinge problem could force a redesign, but Fixed Focus Digital said there was never any delay, which leaves the manufacturing question narrower than the market rumor suggested.
The unresolved point is what specific manufacturing issue slowed the initial ramp-up, because the leak answers the timetable question without spelling out whether the trouble was a process problem, a parts problem, or something else.
