Ready to sell a kidney for the foldable iPhone?

Not-so-good news (though we suspected as much) is currently circulating about the price at which Apple's first foldable smartphone is expected to be sold.
Rumors from last summer offered hope for a "reasonable" price (as reasonable as possible, knowing Apple) for the foldable iPhone slated for release in 2026. Furthermore, more recent whispers suggested cost savings on production. Alas, according to the latest estimates from analyst Arthur Liao of Fubon Research, this model will fall into a high price bracket. Estimated price of the foldable iPhone: almost twice the minimum wage… Around $2,400! That's the estimated price, considering previous predictions suggested a minimum of $1,800. According to the analyst, this high price will be justified by the numerous premium components used in the device, most notably the foldable screen and exclusive hinge. As for public demand, it will depend precisely on this price, even though Fubon Research believes Apple could sell 5.4 million units in 2026 alone.
