Leaker Instant Digital has hit the bull's eye countless times in the past with his predictions, and that's why his information should be taken seriously. Specifically, this time he talks about these versions:
- 256 GB – around $2,610
- 512 GB – around $2,610
- 1 TB – around $2,900
However, it is important to emphasize that this is a conversion from Chinese yuan according to the current exchange rate. The final prices may look a little different, but it is already clear that these will be the most expensive ever. iPhone in history.
Pro comparison, contemporary iPhone 17 Pro Apple offers right now varia256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB, while iPhone 17 Pro Max it also has a 2TB configuration. But that also costs "only" $1999, so the foldable model could easily be almost twice as expensive. How the Czech price will behave, of course, we can only guess, because that also depends on the dollar exchange rate against the crown. And for example, when he recently showed Apple new MacBook Air While the M5 has increased its base price to $1099 in the US, it has maintained its price of CZK 29,990 in the Czech Republic.
In the case of the flexible iPhone, however, it is fair to say that it is definitely not expected to be cheap. It has already been speculated that the base price iPhone Fold could range somewhere between $1800 and $2500. The new leak actually confirms in advance that Apple perhaps it will head more towards the upper end of this range.

It is true that we are still a good six months away from the launch of the new product, but as I wrote above, Instant Digital has made several fairly accurate predictions. In the past, for example, it correctly pointed out the yellow variantu iPhone 14, frosted rear window iPhone 15 to iPhone 15 Plus, but also on the base 256GB storage of iPhone 17 Pro or its improved telephoto lens. So if it predicts the future accurately this time too, it will be iPhone Fold a truly luxurious affair for technology enthusiasts, as is the case with Vision Pro. Either way, Apple would have his first folding iPhone to be introduced in September this year, so we may not have to wait too long for official confirmation.
Okay, that's free, I'll buy two.
What percentage of the entire mobile segment, for example, does Samsung make sales of "fold"Monster? Up to 5%? This flexible iPhone The toy will be beautiful, but it's something that no one really needs. The major downside when using it is that you can't open it with one hand. At ~$2300, you can buy 3 basic iPhones for it and still have money left over for lunch.
Whether someone needs it or not Fold don't solve If you don't need it, that's your business. I wonder why I should open such a device with one hand. If I want to control it with one hand, I use the external display. The internal display is controlled like a tablet, i.e. with two hands. If I had three hands, the three iPhones might make sense to me. For the price of one iPhone Pro I can have three mid-range phones and still have lunch left over.
Oskar, calm down, no heart attack. Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do, I'm telling you that this product will definitely not be mass-produced, Why would you buy a foldable phone for 70000, if you're going to look at the external display anyway, as you say? That's what doesn't make sense to me.
Oskar, I didn't mean to touch you, you look like a target, so definitely go for it, you'll be one of the 5% I mentioned. It won't change the fact that this product category will turn out like Vision Pro, in oblivion.
