The wait seems to be coming to an end, but your wallet is not going to be very happy. If you had been dreaming for years of seeing the jump Apple to the market for phones that fold, prepare savings. According to the latest leaks from the always reliable analyst Mark Gurman, the long-awaited device, which many are already calling iPhone Ultrais going to be the most expensive smartphone ever manufactured by the Cupertino company.
We are talking about figures that are frightening: the base price would break the barrier of 2,000 dollars. If you get fancy and want the version with maximum storage capacity, the cost could be close to 3,000 dollars. Yes, you read correctly: the equivalent of buying a high-end laptop, but in a pocket format that we will see this September along with future ones iPhone 18 Pro.
Is it worth paying so much for the new iPhone Ultra?
It is inevitable to be a little critical of this strategy. While competing brands such as Samsung either Google They are already in their umpteenth generation of folding phones and they have managed to adjust the prices a little more, the Californian company will be late to the party and charging for VIP entry. Its main asset will be: a design supposedly without marks on the fold of the screen and perfect integration with its ecosystem.
However, the question remains whether the average user is willing to pay such an amount for a first generation that, historically, usually has a lot of room for technical improvement. Furthermore, the market will not end here, since for months there has been talk that Apple would be working on different flexible devices, and there is even talk of a foldable iPad.
Knowing that the initial investment will be so astronomical, Would you be willing to spend your savings on the first foldable iPhone or would you prefer to opt for other more established options?
