After years of anticipation, Apple is on the cusp of launching its highly coveted foldable iPhone Ultra, but the journey to release is proving to be more comical than expected. With an initial launch date set for 2026, it appears the company has hit some unexpected snags that leave consumers both excited and chuckling.
