- Plus foldable iPhone price rumors have emerged
- It could cost a little less or much more than the Z fold 7 7
- The price may not be the greatest consideration
Nothing is yet official, but it seems certain that Apple is busy working on a foldable iPhone – and we have some new predictions of analysts for how much the folding device will cost when it is born.
According to UBS analysts (via fortune), the foldable iPhone could reach around $ 1,800 to $ 2,000. It is not too bad, since the newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $ 1,999.99 / £ 1,799 $ 2,899 in.
Before getting ahead of ourselves, the highly respected Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple invests in a higher hinge technology to make the iPhone folding iPhone screen less visible-and this will in turn push the higher price than for other foldable.
Premium prices for the foldable iPhone have long been subjected to the state of the industry at the moment and previous history, it seems more likely that Apple’s vision on the form factor will cost more than competition – although time will say.
The price is not all
Of course, the price is important for phones – a better value phone cheaper will usually sell better than a phone too expensive. That said, I don’t think the foldable iPhone flows or swim depending on whether it is more or less expensive than its rivals.
We know that Apple fans are generally ready to pay a price bonus for iPhones: these handsets order high prices and keep their value over time. For a new shiny factor, I think there will be a lot of takers for this device, at any cost.
If you are committed to investing in a foldable phone, you know that you will pay much more than you would do for a standard phone – and keep in mind that a folding iPhone could mean that you don’t need an iPad, there is savings to have it.
What seems to me the most crucial here is what Apple has always been good: to offer a software experience and build a quality that beats its rivals, which could take the form of a configuration of hinge and improved folds that improves what Samsung does.
