Summary

Apple Extends Ultra

Apple is extending the Ultra badge beyond the Watch to a foldable iPhone and a touchscreen MacBook.
iPhone Ultra will be announced at the September iPhone 18 Pro event, with store release weeks later.
JP Morgan says the foldable iPhone will house a 24 MP under-screen camera, with analysts estimating Ultra prices from $2,320 to $2,900.
MacBook Ultra’s launch is pushed to early 2027 because of a RAM supply shortage, highlighting supply-chain constraints.
