Apple’s long -term foldable iPhone model has begun to become clear. The first rumors pointed out that the device would be offered for a price of $ 2,000 to $ 2,500. However, in the latest news, this range is narrowed and reduced to $ 2,100 to $ 2,300. This price range was brought to the agenda in the light of predictions based on Apple’s profit margins.
The price level of the foldable iPhone positions it on the existing premium phones. For example, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to be available for about $ 1,900. Google’s foldable phone Pixel 9 Pro Fold is thought to carry a price tag of $ 1,800. In addition to all these, Apple’s current most expensive phone, even if the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at $ 1,199, it is understood that the foldable model will come with a significant price difference.
Technical components used for foldable iPhone attract the price up
The technical components have a major impact on the evaluation of the device in such a high price range. The latest information shows that Apple is working with Samsung for both the cover screen and the home screen. It is stated that the cover screen will be 5.5 -inch and the flexible panel will be 7.8 inches. The production quality and supply costs of these screens are among the main elements that affect the price level of the device.
On the other hand, the hinge structure that Apple plans to use in this model is quite remarkable. It is said that the company prefers a hinge made of liquid metal, which is more robust than titanium. This special hinge aims to offer a long -lasting and solid experience. Despite everything, the production cost of these components is up to the general price of the device.
Some information about the thickness of the device is also shared. It will offer a thickness ranging from 4.5 to 4.8 mm when it is unbearable. It is estimated that it will reach 9 to 9.5 mm thickness when folded. These measures reveal that Apple has made a special effort to design a thin and portable device.
Apple is expected to bring this foldable model to users in 2026. Due to some design difficulties in the development process, the promotion was previously postponed. However, the latest leaks show that the device is approaching the production phase. It is stated that the company is especially trying to perfect the hinge system and focuses on screen resistance.
It is known that Apple can achieve strong positions even in the markets where it enters late. Apple, which has an important place in the tablet and smart watch market, can apply a similar strategy for this model. The foldable telephone market is currently the leading position against Samsung is a matter of curiosity. But Apple’s ecosystem power can make this model attractive to users.
