iPhone Fold not that expensive after all (and even thinner than the Air)

It has been known for some time that Apple is working on its first foldable iPhone. And it seems that the device will not be as expensive as initially thought. In addition, the device will also be thinner than the current iPhone Air.

It was also previously thought that the iPhone Fold would have a price tag of more than $2,000. However, new rumors say that Apple will launch the iPhone Fold a little lower in the market. You should then think of a price below 2000 dollars. This may make the device more accessible to a broader group of users.

iPhone Fold: the new thinnest iPhone ever

Rumors vary, but according to reliable reports, the foldable iPhone Fold would have a thickness of only 4.5 to 4.8 millimeters when opened. That is even thinner than the iPhone Air (€899), which is considered the thinnest iPhone to date at 5.6 millimeters.

When the iPhone Fold is double-built, a thickness of approximately 9 to 9.5 millimeters is mentioned. That is of course a bit bigger and even thicker than an iPhone 17 Pro Max. That device is 8.75 millimeters thick.

This is when the iPhone Fold will be available for purchase

The iPhone Fold is rumored to launch sometime in 2026. However, the exact moment is still uncertain. Apple is currently still developing the iPhone Fold and parts such as the complex hinge technology and the ultra-thin design could slow things down a bit.
