How much does the foldable iPhone Ultra cost?

Reported pricing starts between $2,099 and $2,299, with higher storage configurations exceeding $3,000. The iPhone 18 Pro is expected around $1,199 and the Pro Max near $1,299.

Does the iPhone Ultra have a telephoto camera?

No. It has a 48MP wide and a 48MP ultra wide. The iPhone 18 Pro line includes a telephoto with an improved low-light aperture.

Does the iPhone Ultra have Face ID?

No. It uses Touch ID, most likely because the folding chassis leaves no room for the Face ID sensor array. The iPhone 18 Pro keeps Face ID with some components moved under the display.

Is the iPhone Ultra faster than the iPhone 18 Pro?

Both use the A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process, so performance should be broadly comparable.

When can I buy them?

Both were announced at Apple’s September 9, 2026 event, with preorders expected around September 12 and availability around September 18.

Should I wait for the second-generation foldable?

If you are undecided, probably. A second generation would likely address the missing telephoto camera and Face ID, and first-generation resale values in a brand new category are hard to predict.
