Don’t be shocked: the iPhone Fold becomes that expensive

There have been rumors for some time that Apple will come up with a foldable iPhone. But this iPhone Fold becomes incredibly expensive.

Don’t be shocked: the iPhone Fold becomes that expensive

We have to wait a little longer, but it looks like that first foldable iPhone will appear so at the end of 2026 or early 2027. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also says that this iPhone Fold will cost more than $ 2000.

But that was not the only thing Kuo managed to tell about the foldable iPhone. He also said that the screen will be folded around 7.8 inches. According to Kuo there is no ‘fold’ to be seen. Also nice to know: if you have closed the iPhone Fold, the screen at the front is around 5.5 inches.

Kuo says that the iPhone Fold is about 9 to 9.5 mm thick if you have folded it shut. It is then 4.5 mm to 4.8 mm thick. The iPhone will, according to him, soon mainly consist of titanium with steel suspense. In addition, the device has two cameras on the back with a front camera (both in folded and folded position).

Strikingly enough, Kuo also said that the iPhone Fold will not get a Face ID, but that there will be Touch ID in the side button. That is quite strange since the iPhone Fold will be quite expensive and you would actually expect this function. In addition, according to KUO, this iPhone Fold will also make full use of Apple Intelligence.

iPhone Fold Release: This is when you can buy it

According to Kuo, Apple wants to complete the development of the iPhone Fold somewhere in the second quarter of this year. In the third quarter, the project will really have to get off the ground. Mass production is then planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Hopefully there will be a launch in the starting blocks for somewhere at the end of 2026 or early 2027.

It seems that Apple is not in a hurry with the release of a foldable iPhone. The company does not want to get the same problems that other companies have with their folding devices. For example, Samsung has had the Samsung Galaxy Foldbut that release did not go without problems.
