The foldable iPhone is likely to be Apple’s thinnest device so far, measuring around 4.8mm when unfolded. It may use a crease-free display supplied by Samsung, supported by a metal layer for added strength and durability.

In terms of price, the foldable iPhone is expected to cost between $1,800 and $2,000 in the US. This is similar to the price of other foldable phones like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. In India, the estimated price could be around ₹1.55 lakh to ₹1.72 lakh, though taxes and import duties may increase the final cost.

Production is expected to begin in later this year, marking Apple’s entry into the growing foldable smartphone market.
