Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone could reportedly be priced at over Rs 2 lakhs in India. According to these leaks, it can be priced between Rs 1.80 lakh to Rs 2 lakh after taxes and import duties.
According to reports Apple is planning to use premium materials in its foldable iPhone. For a while now, there have been rumours that Apple is most likely working on a foldable device, and there might be some weight to these rumours. We might get to see a foldable by Apple soon but don’t expect it to come with an affordable price tag.
According to a new leak shared by tipster Instant Digital on the Chinese platform Weibo, Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone could be priced at over Rs 2 lakhs in India. If there is any weight to these leaks, the iPhone Fold can be priced between $2,100 and $2,300, which roughly translates to Rs 1.80 lakh to Rs 2 lakh in India after taxes and import duties.
This means that this can be more expensive than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 (which costs Rs 1,49,999) and Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold (around Rs 1.62 lakh). It would also be almost twice the price of the current iPhone 16 Pro Max, which starts at $1,199 (around Rs 1 lakh).
Foldable iPhone Specifications (Expected) So what’s driving the high price? According to reports Apple is planning to use premium materials in its foldable iPhone, including a liquid metal hinge that is said to be even more durable than titanium. The phone is also expected to feature a Samsung-made 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.
8-inch foldable AMOLED display on the inside. In terms of design, the phone could be just 4.5 to 4.
8mm thin when unfolded, and around 9mm thick when folded. While the Cupertino-based tech giant is yet to officially comment on the launch, industry insiders expect a 2025 launch window. It will be interesting to see what Apple has to offer with its fold and how it will compete with Samsung, which is already on top of the foldable market.
