US EditioniPhone Fold Might Not Go on Sale Until December, One Analyst Suggests
Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September, with foldable iPhone Fold shipments starting in December, and other models arriving next March, analysts say.
- Apple plans to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year, with the iPhone Fold arriving months later in December, according to Barclays analyst Tim Long.
- Early estimates point to a starting price of around $2000 for the iPhone Fold, with costs potentially reaching $2400, positioning it above competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
- Last week, CAD leaks indicated the iPhone Fold design hit a major production milestone. Apple is expected to address durability concerns with a crease-free display and a strong liquid metal hinge.
- Separately, Apple plans to release the iPhone 18e and either an iPhone 18 Plus or iPhone Air 2 alongside the base iPhone 18 model in March 2027.
- Apple historically releases new models one to two months after announcing the full lineup, as evidenced by the iPhone X arriving in November 2017 and iPhone 14 Plus in October, establishing precedent for the Fold's December timing.
