Apple’s Foldable iPhone Expected to Hit $2,400 Price Point
Apple is set to enter the foldable smartphone market, but a recent analysis suggests that its highly anticipated foldable iPhone could come with a staggering price tag of approximately $2,400. This forecast, made by analyst Arthur Liao from Fubon Research, raises questions about the affordability of Apple’s latest innovation.
Analysts have been speculating on the potential cost of the foldable iPhone for some time. Estimates from industry experts, including well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, suggest a range between $2,000 and $2,500. Liao’s projection aligns with these figures, reinforcing the idea that Apple products typically come with a premium price.
The high cost can be attributed to several factors. Foldable smartphones utilize advanced display technology that remains relatively niche in the market. The unique construction of these devices, which combines two screens and multiple cameras, naturally raises production expenses.
In addition to the innovative display, Apple is expected to incorporate premium materials into the foldable iPhone, particularly in the display panel and hinge design. This commitment to quality aims to achieve a foldable device with a virtually invisible crease, a feature already seen in models like the OPPO Find N5.
At a projected price of $2,400, the foldable iPhone may not appeal to all consumers. However, for dedicated iPhone enthusiasts who have been eyeing foldable options from competitors, this could present an exciting opportunity. Apple is anticipated to unveil the foldable iPhone in 2026, leaving consumers eager for more information as the launch date approaches.
As the smartphone market evolves, Apple’s entry into foldables could significantly impact consumer choices and set new standards for performance and design in premium devices. The company’s history with high-priced products shows that while the cost may be a barrier for some, others are willing to invest in cutting-edge technology.
