Apple iPhone Event Invites Have Gone Out, and I Want a Foldable iPhone
There are a few things that are inevitable every year, and one of those is that Apple is going to host a big, flashy event in September to show off its new iPhone. And now, Apple has announced a September 9 event that'll do just that.
Every year, Apple fans brace themselves for a high-profile September event to unveil the latest iPhone. This year's event, scheduled for September 9 at 10am PST, is expected to showcase the latest iPhones, including the iPhone 18 and its Pro counterpart, as well as the newest Apple Watch. However, the prevailing rumors suggest that Apple might also introduce a foldable iPhone at this highly anticipated event.
A foldable iPhone has been a topic of speculation for years, with analysts like Ming-Chi Quo predicting its arrival this year, albeit in limited quantities. The analyst forecasted that if the foldable iPhone is indeed real, it would be priced significantly higher than its counterparts, with a unit cost of around $2,100, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Despite this potential premium pricing, Apple's history of introducing and refining cutting-edge technologies could make the foldable iPhone a success story.
While the rumored foldable iPhone might not bring drastic changes to the iPhone 18 and 18 Pro models, Apple could opt to increase their prices, given the RAM shortage that has affected its entire product lineup. This price hike could help Apple avoid raising costs on older devices.
