The foldable iPhone \u2014 yes, it exists, and yes, it is coming out this year \u2014 was expected to be one of the most expensive phones ever released to the public. It is, after all, Apple that we\u2019re talking about, the company that made a $3,499 MR (Mixed Reality<\/span>) headset and a $999 monitor stand.And though I think that you shouldn\u2019t buy the foldable iPhone for a myriad of reasons, a recent leak makes me believe that the phone is unlikely to meet the fate of the Apple Vision Pro. In fact, if leaked foldable iPhone pricing is to be believed, there\u2019s a pretty good chance that we will see a repeat of the Galaxy Z TriFold, which sold out in mere minutes after launch.<\/p>\n

Foldable iPhone costs as much as Fold 7<\/h2>\n

According to leaks, the foldable iPhone<\/span> will start at $1,999. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 also launched at $1,999 last year. The Fold 7 is one of the best foldable flagships that has come out recently, and for the foldable iPhone<\/span> to match its pricing is insanity.Reports claim that Apple\u2019s foldable will start at $1,999 for the 256 GB variant, just like the Fold 7. This price will go up by $200 for each jump in storage, which means around $2,199 for the 512 GB version and $2,399 for the 1 TB model. Keep in mind that the 1 TB version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/span><\/span> costs $2,419, though the 512 GB variant is slightly cheaper than the equivalent foldable iPhone<\/span> model according to these leaks.
\nSo not only is Apple\u2019s first foldable starting at a lower price than anyone expected, it\u2019s also going to give its biggest rival some very tough competition. Initially, estimates put the foldable iPhone<\/span>\u2019s starting price at around $2,400, so $1,999 seems almost impossible to comprehend.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the Apple tax?<\/h2>\n
