Description:
The iPhone Fold could be seriously expensive, crease-free, and launch next 
year, likely alongside the iPhone 18 series.

FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
foldable iPhone could cost $2,399 That's one of the highest possible prices 
we've heard for it It might also be crease-free, and is apparently on track 
for a 2026 launch 

The foldable iPhone is basically guaranteed to be expensive, but the latest 
price rumor suggests it could cost even more than some previous leaks 
suggested. 

According to Fubon Research (via MacRumors ), the foldable iPhone is likely 
to cost $2,399 (roughly 1,830 / AU$3,720). While thats marginally lower than 
one prediction that put it at $2,500 (around 1,905 / AU$3,875), its much 
higher than most recent leaks, which put it at either $1,800  $2,000 
(approximately 1,370 / AU$2,790  1,525 / AU$3,100), or 15,000 yuan , which is 
around $2,110 / 1,610 / AU$3,270. 

So thats a worryingly high price prediction, but it could prove accurate, as 
Fubon Research reached this number through supply chain analysis, while 
factoring in Apples margin needs. 

But if this really is the price of the foldable iPhone then it could prove a 
tough sell, and frankly you might be better off just grabbing a non-foldable 
iPhone and the iPad mini 8 (which is expected to launch next year) instead. 

That combination may in fact cost less than the foldable iPhone (depending on 
which iPhone model you choose), and youd still be getting two screen sizes. 
So it will be interesting to see whether the foldable iPhone really costs 
this much  and whether many people buy it if it does. Crease-free and coming

Still, in more positive news, UDN (via MacRumors again) echoes earlier 
reports that the foldable iPhone could be the first foldable phone with a 
crease-free design, so that could go some way to justifying its price tag. 

The site also reports that the foldable iPhone will be called the iPhone 
Fold, and that its on track for a 2026 launch, having entered the engineering 
validation and pre-mass production phases of its development. So if youre 
keen to spend $2,400 on a phone, you might be able to fairly soon.
