Release window rumors of Foldable iPhones

According to an X post from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple might launch its first-ever foldable iPhone in 2025 or later.

Other trustworthy sources suggest that it might get delayed till 2027. Meanwhile, the company’s idea was to launch its very first foldable iPads in the market to experiment with its sales.

However, after seeing the craze for foldable devices, they decided to implement their new technology in the iPhone prototypes first.

How much would it cost?

According to a report by 9To5mac, it might cost around or over $2000, which is a steep rise from the current market price of iPhones. Looking at the current pricing of foldable devices like Samsung Z Flip and Z Fold editions, users can expect a massive price tag on the upcoming foldable iPhone.

As users are still in doubt over the official launch date of foldable iPhones, the reported pricing is unlikely to satisfy them.
