- The folding iPhone could cost between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500
- That would make it one of Apple’s most expensive devices
- However, it could lack facial identification
There has never been any doubt that Apple’s anticipated folding iPhone will be a very expensive device, and now the new rumors suggest that it could be one of Apple’s most expensive products.
According to Leaker Instant Digital (through Macrumors), the folding iPhone will begin between $ 2,100 and $ 2,500 (that is approximately £ 1,580- £ 1,730 / au $ 3,310-AU $ 3,625, although we would not expect those conversions to be precise).
That would do that much more expensive than Apple’s current top telephone, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max from $ 1,199 / £ 1.199 / AU $ 2.149, and even make it more expensive than $ 1,599 / £ 2.149 / AU $ 3,199 initial price of a MacBook Pro 14-Pulted 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 without face identification
Therefore, this could be a very expensive device, especially because that rumored price is only the initial price. And although 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 price of the iPhone could be as low as $ 2,000 (around £ 1,540 / AU $ 3,175) or as high as $ 2,500 (approximately £ 1,730 / au $ 3,625). So, whatever the case, a price of more than $ 2,000 seems likely.
However, that is perhaps insufficient. After all, this is an Apple device (although Apple has not yet confirmed existence) has always been expected to reach a higher price than other folding phones.
But despite its probable price, the folding iPhone could lack a technology that we expect from Apple phones, with a digital filtration chat station (through macrumors) stating that it will not have a facial identification, although it will apparently have a low show camera, which would be the first for Apple.
If this is correct, then the phone is likely to have contact ID in a side button, as we have heard in an earlier filtration. That is not the end of the world, but it could let some feel at high change if it really comes with a price of more than $ 2,000.
It will probably spend some time before we learn the real price of Apple’s first folding, with reports that suggest that it is unlikely to land before 2026 as very soon.
