- The folding iPhone is again tilted to launch it in 2026
- A starting price of $ 2,300 has been planned
- It is unlikely that it will be unveiled this year
While rumors of a foldable iPhone has been circulating for years, there is a lot of growing evidence that Apple is finally about to put a folding phone in the world. Two leaks leaks give us a better idea of his arrival and the high price that will accompany him.
First of all, the GF Securities Jeff analyst Pu (via 9TO5MAC) suggested that 2026 will be when the folding iPhone will hide. It corresponds to the previous predictions of other sources and means that a launch this year is now very unlikely.
Then, there is a completely separate report from the long Tim analyst by Barclays (via MacRumors), believing that the foldable iPhone will cost you $ 2 or more, depending on storage. It is almost double the starting price of $ 1,199 of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Assuming the same price leap in other countries, we will examine £ 2,300 in the United Kingdom and $ 4,120 in Australia. If the launch actually occurs in the next 18 months, you may want to start saving.
The foldable cost
A useful comparison point for this folding iPhone price rumor would be the cost of a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: the book foldable book launched last July and is available at a starting price of $ 1899 / £ 1,799 £ / 2,749 $ in.
It is quite a leap from there at the price of the rumor of the foldable of Apple, but we have seen in the past that some consumers are ready to pay premium prices for premium devices – and for devices with the Apple badge on them.
This high price rumor is not necessarily a surprise either: previous predictions have suggested that the foldable iPhone will cost much more than $ 2,000. For this kind of money, we hope an invisible fold and a self-healing screen.
Of course, none of this is official: analysts like PA and Long make predictions based on sources working in industry and the supply chain, but it is only when Apple makes its announcement that we can be sure of what is happening.
