A foldable iPhone could be coming soon, but CNET readers would make other changes instead.

If You Were Apple’s CEO, What iPhone Changes Would You Make? CNET Readers Chime In

If you were Apple's CEO, several changes to the iPhone might come to mind. The top priority seems to be lowering the price, with 16% of CNET readers hoping for a more affordable starting cost. Currently, the iPhone 17 Pro Max begins at $1,199, and the budget iPhone 17E is priced at $599. While Apple raised prices in June, a RAM shortage and growing demand for memory chips could keep prices high for the near future.

Another requested improvement is a larger battery or faster charging capabilities, as 14% of CNET readers want more power in their iPhones. Lastly, there's speculation about Apple unveiling its first foldable phone this year. Rumors suggest it could debut at Apple's September event, potentially named the iPhone Fold, Ultra, or Flip. The price of this device could range from $2,000 to $2,500, depending on design and features.
