Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to be more expensive than the competition when it launches next year. A 2026 release seems certain for the foldable iPhone at the time of this writing. That’s what most reports are saying, with recent leaks indicating that Apple might have chosen Samsung Display to manufacture the display, including the key tech that will let the foldable iPhone fold without showing a crease.
Rumors also say Apple will have an original take on the foldable iPhone. It should offer a Fold-type experience when unfolded, meaning the iPhone will become an iPad. But the tablet’s aspect ratio would look more like a rectangle than the square shape of phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Rumors also say the first iPhone Fold will be more expensive than the competition, with pricing starting anywhere between $2,000 and $2,500. The latter seems like the kind of price you’d expect from an Apple-branded foldable. The recently launched Fold 7 costs $1,999.99, which is $100 more than previous versions.
A new specs leak suggests this iPhone 18 Fold could have a starting price that’s easier to digest. Apparently, Apple has managed to keep the bill of materials lower than anticipated.
