As we’ve known for some time now, Apple is gearing up to enter the foldable smartphone market, as well as continue work on the upcoming iPhone 17 series. To that effect, in this week’s «Power On» column, Apple correspondent Mark Gurman shared his insights on what moves he expects Apple to make as it pertains to both devices.
First up, the foldable iPhone. Gurman believes Apple can’t ignore the growing popularity of foldable devices, particularly admiring Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold design, which opens up from a standard smartphone size into a small tablet. He anticipates Apple will launch its own foldable phone next year, featuring a design similar to Samsung’s offering. This device, in Gurman’s view, will likely incorporate many of the same technologies expected in the upcoming iPhone 17 «Air.» While he predicts a premium price point around $2,000, Gurman sees this foldable iPhone as a potential hit for Apple, even if initial sales volumes aren’t massive.
