TrendForce, based on its material cost analysis, predicts that prices for all new models will increase by 10 to 20 percent across the board. The main culprit is rising component prices. For example, the price of a 256GB memory module is currently an incredible 400 percent higher than it was a year ago. According to forecasts, the basic iPhone Ultra with a capacity of 256 GB should start at between $2,099 and $2,299. There should also be options varianty with 512GB, 1TB and 2TB storage.
Although the report doesn't specify the exact prices of higher configurations, analysts expect the most equipped models to exceed $3,000. This is expected to happen even if Apple It will bear part of the increased costs to maintain market share. Pro comparison, historically the first iPhoneThe Model X had a price tag of over $1,000 in 2017. Currently, the price is maxideally equipped iPhone 17 Pro Max she stopped at the price tag of $1999.
Given these expected costs, TrendForce estimates that foldable phones as a whole will account for maxat least about 2 percent of the global smartphone market. Although the report does not directly specify how much of this “pie” it will take iPhone Ultra, other recent and much more optimistic reports indicate great ambitions. According to them Apple It can sell up to 14 million units of its first foldable device during fiscal year 2027. iPhone Ultra will be introduced in just a few days and in my opinion it will be one of the best apple keynote at all. After all, Apple is about to introduce something that has never been there before in his concept, which in itself means something. So I think we are in for a real blast.
Personally, I'm particularly bothered by the charging port on the top, or rather left, part of the display. I would have expected it on the bottom, right part. But I have to say, I'm really looking forward to it.
