Apple’s $1,999 foldable iPhone: Who is it for?

reuters.com [$]

Apple launched its foldable iPhone Duo on Wednesday starting at $1,999, but analysts questioned its target audience beyond wealthy tech enthusiasts. Executives showcased the device for work, content creation, and entertainment, positioning it as a personal AI hub, yet avoided defining a specific buyer. Analysts noted this lack of clear positioning could limit appeal to early adopters. Foldable phones remain under 3% of the global market in 2026, though Apple's entry may boost shipments. Analysts expect strong initial sales from brand loyalty, but the high price and unclear purpose could confine it to a niche status symbol.
