Apple’s foldable iPhone is reportedly set for release in September 2026, but its high price tag may deter many potential buyers. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, the device will enter production next year and its sales will be impacted by its premium pricing.
Kuo claims that Apple has ordered 15-20 million units of the foldable iPhone for its 2-3 year lifecycle, which puts yearly sales estimates significantly lower. The high price, estimated to be between $2,100 and $2,500, may make it out of reach for many customers. The device is expected to feature an under-display camera, near-invisible seam, beautiful display, and impressive battery life.
The pricing barrier poses a challenge for Apple’s foldable iPhone, which is seen as a rival to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. With its high price tag, it remains to be seen whether the device will appeal to customers looking for a premium experience or if it will be too expensive for most buyers.
