High-end device will use advanced Samsung panels and liquid metal
hinges in Apple’s most expensive iPhone yet.
Apple is preparing a foldable iPhone designed to minimize screen creases, using premium Samsung displays and liquid metal hinges.
The device is expected to debut near $2,400, targeting ultra-premium buyers.
Apple is reportedly moving forward with plans for a foldable iPhone that aims to solve one of the biggest complaints in the category: visible screen creases. The new device will use high-end Samsung OLED panels alongside liquid metal hinge technology to help the screen fold more smoothly and evenly.
Early indications suggest the foldable iPhone will sit at the very top of Apple’s lineup, with a price near $2,400 — significantly higher than current flagship models. That places it squarely in the ultra-premium segment, aimed at early adopters, professionals and enthusiasts willing to pay a steep premium for cutting-edge design.
Analysts say the launch could reshape the foldable market by putting Apple’s ecosystem and brand power behind a form factor that has so far been dominated by Samsung and a handful of Android rivals. A successful debut may force competitors to raise their own standards on durability, hinge design and long-term screen performance.
Still, questions remain about how large the audience will be for such an expensive device and whether users will perceive enough benefit from a folding screen to justify the cost. The rollout will serve as a test of whether foldables can become mainstream — or remain a niche reserved for tech’s most devoted fans.
