- The folding iPhone could cost between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500
- That would make it one of Apple’s most expensive devices
- However, it may be missing face -id
There has never been any doubt that Apple’s expected foldable iPhone will be a very expensive device, and now new rumors suggest that it could be one of Apple’s most expensive ever products.
According to Leaker Instant Digital (via macumors), the folding iPhone starts between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500 (that’s approximately £ 1,580 £ 1,730 / AU $ 3,310-AU $ 3,625, though we wouldn’t expect these conversions to be accurate).
That would make it far more expensive than Apple’s current top phone, with iPhone 16 Pro Max, starting at $ 1,199 / £ 1,199 / AU $ 2,149, and would even make it more expensive than $ 1,599 / £ 2,149 / AU $ 3,199 Starting price for a MacBook Pro 14-Inch M4 (2024).
It would also mean that the folding iPhone would exceed the price of rivals, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 for example from $ 1,899.99 / £ 1,799 / AU $ 2,749.
$ 2,000+ and no facial -id
So this can be a serious expensive unit, especially since this rumor price is apparently just the starting price. And while we would take this rumor with a pinch of salt, others agree that it will cost a lot.
We have previously heard that the folding iPhone’s price could be as low as $ 2,000 (about £ 1,540 / AU $ 3,175) or as high as $ 2,500 (about £ 1,730 / AU $ 3,625). So no matter what is the case, a price of $ 2,000 plus is likely to look likely.
It may not be surprising. After all, this is to be an Apple device (albeit one that Apple has not yet confirmed the existence of), it is always expected that it will come in at a higher price than other folding phones.
But despite its probable high price, the folding iPhone may be missing a technical technique we expected from Apple’s handset, with Leaker Digital Chat Station (via MacRumors), which claims it does not have face ID-self it will apparently have a sub-display camera, which would be a first for Apple.
If this is correct, it is likely that the phone instead has Touch ID in a page button that we have heard in a previous leak. It’s not the end of the world, but it may leave some emotions if it actually comes with a price of $ 2,000 plus.
It will probably take some time before we learn the actual price of Apple’s first foldable, with reports suggesting that landing before 2026 is unlikely.
