The most expensive iPhone in history may be coming: launching in September!

According to blogger “Shana Digital” on February 23, Apple plans to officially start mass production of the iPhone Fold and iPhone 18 Pro series in July this year. The two models will be released simultaneously and launched in September.

The iPhone Fold is Apple’s first foldable screen phone, with an estimated starting price of $1,800-$2,500 in the US market, which translates to approximately 13,000-18,000 RMB, making it the most expensive iPhone ever.

Although Apple is still keeping quiet, the supply chain has already uncovered everything about it, including detailed specifications of the device.

Overall, the iPhone Fold adopts a similar folding ratio to the Huawei Pura X, but its size is significantly larger.

It adopts a mainstream dual-screen design, with dual cameras integrated on the back, arranged horizontally similar to the iPhone Air.

According to leaks, the iPhone Fold’s folded dimensions are 83.8mm*120.6mm*9.6mm, with an external screen of approximately 5.49 inches and a resolution of 2088×1422. Compared to current iPhone models, it is wider but shorter. When held with one hand, its width is slightly larger than that of conventional models, but its reduced height makes it easier to operate.

When unfolded, the device measures 167.6*120.6mm*4.8mm, with an internal screen of approximately 7.76 inches and a resolution of 2713×1920 pixels, similar to the iPad mini, but smaller overall.

The front-facing camera is completely integrated under the screen, without any notches, punch holes, or other openings, achieving a true full-screen effect for the first time.

According to reports, Apple has also created a very powerful hinge that achieves a “near-crease-free” inner screen effect through a built-in metal stress-dispersing plate, while also supporting self-healing coating technology to improve scratch resistance.

The processor is expected to be from the A20 series, paired with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage, with performance comparable to the iPhone Pro models of the same period; it is equipped with Apple’s second-generation self-developed C2 baseband and has no physical SIM card slot (only supports eSIM).

Equipped with the largest capacity battery in iPhone history, using high-density cells, and further improving energy efficiency by streamlining core components such as the display driver, the battery life has been greatly upgraded.
