Insider: iPhone Fold will be cheaper than expected, but not everyone can buy it right away

Interesting and quite unexpected information about the iPhone Fold appeared on the Internet — the first foldable Apple smartphone, which will have an unusual 4:3 aspect ratio of the internal display.

What is known

The Korean insider yeux1122, who has repeatedly proven his awareness of large companies' plans, reported that the iPhone Fold will cost less than previous leaks indicated.

Recall, earlier insiders claimed that the gadget's price would be $2450, however, yeux1122 is confident that the real price will be $1999, which is comparable to the top configuration of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This decision seems unexpected amid soaring prices for RAM and storage chips.

The informant also noted that the smartphone will indeed be released in the fall of 2026, but the first batches will be limited, and large-scale sales of the gadget will start only at the beginning of 2027.

yeux1122 can be trusted, as he was the first to name the exact price of the Samsung Galaxy TriFold.

For those unaware

Rumor has it that the diagonal of the foldable gadget's internal screen will be 7.76" with an aspect ratio of 1.43:1 and a resolution of 2713×1920, while the external screen will have a diagonal of 5.49" with an aspect ratio of 1.49:1 and a resolution of 2088×1422, allowing the maximum amount of information to be displayed despite the small screen size.

In the unfolded form, the thickness of the foldable Apple smartphone will be 4.8 mm — 0.5 mm more than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and in the folded state, the device's thickness will range from 9 to 9.5 mm.

Drawings and renders of the iPhone Fold confirm that the smartphone will have two front cameras (for the internal and external display).

It is expected to have the most capacious battery in the brand's history. According to yeux11, the American company is testing batteries with a capacity of 5400-5800 mAh and is likely to prefer the larger option.
