TL;DR
- Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to launch around $2,399, much higher than currently competing Android foldables.
- The primary driver for the high cost is said to be the complex hinge system.
- Apple’s hinge material is reportedly 2.5 times stronger and harder than titanium.
Apple hasn’t even shown the world its first foldable iPhone yet, but the upcoming device is shaping up to be a financial gut punch. A new report suggests a starting price of $2,399, up from the previously rumored $2,300 price tag. Either way, this figure instantly places the iPhone Fold above every mainstream foldable on the market, including the Galaxy Z Fold line.
