Apple’s foldable iPhone could be much more expensive than the Galaxy Z Fold 6
At estimated prices of $2,300, the foldable iPhone could cost more than any Samsung Galaxy Z Fold so far.
- Another analyst is pitching the starting price of Apple’s first foldable iPhone to be around $2,300 when it launches in late 2026-early 2027.
- This would be more expensive than the starting prices of the most expensive iPhone (iPhone 16 Pro Max for $1,199) and the expensive Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the US ($1,900).
There are plenty of great Android foldables to choose from, but if you prefer an iPhone, you’ll have to wait at least until next year easily. Apple has long been rumored to launch a foldable iPhone, but it is expected only between late 2026 and early 2027 or even beyond. Whenever Apple does get around to launching one, you can bet it won’t be cheap, and we now have a better idea of just how expensive a foldable iPhone could get.
As MacRumors shared, Analyst Tim Long has shared an investor research note with Barclays suggesting that Apple’s first foldable iPhone could have a starting price in the $2,300 range in the US, making it by far the most expensive iPhone ever. For reference, the most expensive iPhone right now is the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which starts at $1,199, about half this estimated price.
