- Apple’s foldable iPhone is on the right track to be sold in September 2026, based on a new rumor
- A well -known Apple analyst says he will come into production next year
- They also say that its sales will be assigned by its high price
The long -awaited foldable iPhone of Apple should come into production next year, according to a leading analyst, which puts it on the right track for a version next to the iPhone 18 range in September 2026.
By displaying on X, Ming-Chi Kuo also said that Apple provided relatively low sales of his foldable, because of what he says to be his “premium price”.
If Kuo is on money, it would mean that it was not long ago before having an overview of the company’s first attempt to a foldable device. Then we will finally discover how it behaves against the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Rumor.
The foldable iPhone would have been delivered with an underdiffed camera, an almost invisible seam, a nice display and an impressive autonomy. All this means that it will not be cheap – which Kuo seems to confirm – and it is a key concern of mine.
The pricing barrier
In the Post X, Kuo noted that recent rumors said that Apple had ordered 15 to 20 million units of the aircraft. However, Kuo revealed that it is probably the figure in the “life cycle of 2 to 3 years of the product”, which puts sales estimates for each year.
The importance is that Kuo says that the lower annual estimates are just the “premium price” of the foldable. As with the expensive vision vision helmet, the price requested at the Sky-rude of the foldable iPhone will push a lot of people, including myself-while I want to try this new evolution in the iPhone range, I am not willing to sell a kidney to get one.
How much are we talking about here? We have already seen reports that Apple could assess the foldable iPhone between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500. For the context, the most expensive iPhone at the moment – the iPhone 16 Pro Max – starts at $ 1,199, which makes the iPhone foldable about twice as expensive.
We will not know with certainty, of course, before the launch of the foldable iPhone. But with this date which approaches quickly, it could well be out of reach for the majority of Apple’s customers.
