Foldables have not become mainstream just yet, and it seems the market needs Apple to join the game. Plenty of rumors have been swirling around the internet recently about Apple's first foldable iPhone. Now, reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is ready to spill the beans on what we may expect from the first foldable iPhone.

The foldable iPhone will likely be one expensive device

First off, let's start with the price tag. As was somewhat expected (we all know Apple) this may not be a cheap iPhone, actually, far from it. The analyst claims the first foldable iPhone may retail above $2,000 and $2,500, which would make it notably more expensive than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 (or 7).

Kuo expects this ultra-expensive bad boy to generate quite a lot of demand from Apple's loyal fanbase, curiously, despite the exquisite price tag. That is, if the device "meets expectations", as Kuo puts it. 

Kuo also claims this foldable iPhone may be a "True AI-driven iPhone". Apple Intelligence is not yet what was promised initially, but according to Kuo, it may get supercharged with the foldable Apple device.

He claims we can expect multimodal functionality and cross-app integration. Also, he suggests that larger screens enhance the AI experiences, giving an example of chatting with AI about travel plans while visualizing a full map at the same time.

Touch ID, ultra-slim, and titanium frame on the foldable iPhone

According to Kuo's post, Touch ID may be the authentication method on this foldable beast, as Face ID may not be appropriate due to thickness and internal space constraints with the design. But before you frown at me, don't worry - Touch ID may be there as a side button, not with a dated iPhone SE-esque design.

Kuo also reiterates that the first foldable iPhone may have a book-style design, and corroborates previous estimations of a 7.8-inch inner display (without crease, completely) and an approximate 5.5-inch outer display.
