Apple's take on a foldable phone is finally arriving as part of John Ternus' first Apple event as the CEO of the tech giant.Just about everything about the iPhone Ultra has been revealed in the run-up to the Surprise and Shine reveal. The price has been nebulous, beyond rumors of over $2,000.However, a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has revealed a possible starting price of $2,100 that could touch close to $3,000 for higher-end configurations.

As a comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro starts $1,099 for its 256GB base version.
