Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone appears to be inching closer to reality—and it may arrive with a price tag that sets a new bar for premium smartphones. According to a leak shared by the Weibo account “Instant Digital,” the device could debut with a price between $2,100 and $2,300, positioning it well above current foldables from Samsung.

While Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold6 starts at just under $1,900, Apple’s foldable is expected to feature a horizontally folding, book-style design—similar in form factor but potentially more refined in materials and hardware. If accurate, the pricing would mark a $200 to $400 premium over Samsung’s comparable flagship.

Compared to Apple’s own lineup, the jump is even more dramatic. The iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB storage maxes out at $1,599—still roughly $500 to $700 shy of what Apple’s foldable might cost.

Though Instant Digital’s track record is mixed, they’ve accurately predicted past Apple features and product changes, including details about the iPhone 15, iPads, and Apple Watch.

While there’s still no official timeline for the foldable iPhone’s launch, the growing frequency and precision of leaks suggest Apple may be preparing to introduce the device as soon as next year.
