Foldable iPhone Could Cost $2,400

It’s gonna cost me zero, because I’m not spending $2400 on a phone, no matter what it does! 😛
My MacBook cost less, and it’s infinitely more useful.

My first three cars cost less than that, combined!
iPad mini is for people who can't afford foldable iPhone.
Same difference between the OG iPod and OG iPhone.
I mean, you can sell it on the second hand market. I would buy one in good conditions for… half the price? A little less, yes.
In my case I’m only interested in being able to use several Mac floating screens in the same space. That must be so cool… and I don’t think I would notice the difference between an M5 and an M2 AVP.
Honestly, expected.
I would have bought this probably 4 years ago, but lately I've gotten really tired of touchscreen keyboards. Spent some time with the minimal phone (the eink one) and really waiting on a high end blackberry form factor device. Haven't even come close to being tempted by anything newer than my 15PM.

Silly money for a pointless product! iPhone 17 + IPad is less than that. Having owned the Samsung fold 5 and 6, I really do not see the point of these. Interesting but inevitably pointless. Nice engineering I have no doubt. But then this is a guess and not an informed leak by the sound of it. Please stop it Apple. Give me an Air with 2 decent cameras and you have got me. Not this expensive monster we think you might be producing.
Almost always with software updates.
The actual cameras haven't gotten 'better' every year. The iphone 15 and 16 had the exact same cameras.
I was a first-adopter going back to the original Macintosh 128K in 1984... and I was a first-adopter for numerous products over the years, but I stop a couple decades ago since I was burned more than a few times.
Well, there's always a risk when being a first-adopter of any product, I suppose.
I think we have to balance the potential usefulness of a product for us, against our willingness to accept imperfections.
Just remember how often they were right versus the one time they were off.
But every forum user gotta write something, true or false…
Speaking of durability, what will AppleCare+ cost? $500 for 2 years or $25/month?
Tim seems to be coasting on batteries dying to spur upgrades...now he can sell an expensive divide and also hope the screen acts up...he is just salivating at it...but might retire anyways.
As a Pixel Fold owner and an iPhone owner, I don't see the benefit that comes from the device that I can just power on the front screen. Yes I can carry one device, and there is some amazing multi-tasking, but I use my computer for that.
If I were in the field and on the go 24/7, it could possibly replace my phone & tablet, but even spending 2K I get an iPhone Pro and an iPad Pro. So really there needs to be some sort of value proposition.
