Apple is preparing to enter the long-awaited foldable phone market. However, recent leaks appear likely to upset those anticipating the foldable iPhone’s price. The tech giant plans to position this new device in the super-premium category.

How much will the foldable iPhone cost?

According to recent industry reports, Apple will be quite bold with its pricing. Rumors suggest the foldable model will be twice as expensive as the iPhone 17 Pro Max. If current pricing continues, this means the device could even sell for around $2,600 abroad.

There are several key reasons behind this high price tag. First, Apple is investing heavily in R&D for its hinge mechanism and foldable display technology. Furthermore, the company views this device as a limited-edition prestige product, not a phone for everyone. Therefore, these costs are directly reflected in the price.

The company is aware that the high price will result in low sales volume. Rather than selling millions of units, Apple aims to target a niche audience with this model. Therefore, this device, expected to be called the iPhone Fold or iPhone Flip, may be the most “hardest” Apple product to get when it launches.
