Analyststhat Apple works on a foldable iPhone. So far, the publication is said to have been postponed again and again through Apple's quality standards to the kinkable display. But recently there was one in this regard.
That happened:The analyst Jeff PU from GF Securities assumes that Apple will publish the first folding iPhone in 2026. This emerges from a message that PU has sent to investors and the online magazine9To5Macis present.
According to PU, in 2025, a weaker year will be for Apple, as an important incentive for buying a new iPhone was lost. PU refers to the shifted update of digital assistant Siri.
The situation should not improve until 2026. In addition to the Siri update, there should also be the first foldable iPhone this year.
Apple could start the mass production of the foldable-iPhone in the second half of 2026, says PU. The development could already go into the so-called P1 level next month. The first prototypes of Apple are created in this level.
The price of the foldable iPhone
Several analysts agree that the cheapest version of the first folding iPhone will cost more than $ 2,000.
Some analysts, such as Tim Long of the British Bank Barclays, assume a price beyond the $ 2,300 mark. For European customers, the price issued could be even higher, since taxes are usually still missing in the case of information in US dollars.
Most of the available folding cell phones remain significantly below this brand.
- Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: ab 1.899 Euro
- Huawei Mate X6: ab 1.999 Euro
- OnePlus Open: ab 1.799 Euro
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: ab 1.699 Euro
The price of the folding iPhone alone could clearly stand out from the competition.
