If the iPhone Fold launches this year, expect it to cost a pretty penny. Foldable phones are generally expensive, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold selling for about twice the price of flagship enterprise devices.
Industry analyst Kuo predicts Apple’s rumored foldable phone could be priced between $2,000 and $2,500, which is in line with the price range of other book-style foldable phones currently on the market.
Managing Editor Patrick Holland, who leads CNET’s mobile team, points out that when Apple finally enters a new product category, it often addresses many of the complaints about existing devices in that space.
“If Apple launches an iPhone Fold, it will likely come with a design that solves or answers many of the biggest shortcomings of foldable devices today: software, durability, screen crease and utility over a regular iPhone,” Holland said. “The fact that Apple already makes the iPad addresses many of these issues. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen companies make foldable phones that are thinner, more powerful, and have better cameras.”
Holland wonders if Apple can live up to hopes of a foldable iPhone.
“The question for me is, how can Apple launch a foldable phone on a mass scale?” He said. “Even if this is the lowest-selling iPhone, there is still a lot more volume of foldable phones than many phone makers are currently selling.”
