Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone may finally arrive later this year. A new set of leaks has now revealed possible details about the device’s RAM, storage options, and expected pricing.
The device, referred to as the iPhone Fold, is expected to launch in September alongside the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models.
iPhone Fold Could Feature 12GB RAM
According to a report from The Bell, Apple’s first foldable iPhone may come with 12GB of RAM, matching the memory expected on Apple’s Pro iPhone models.
If the leaks turns out to be true, this would put the foldable device in line with the rumored iPhone 18 Pro and other upcoming Pro variants. The additional RAM could help support multitasking on the larger foldable display and improve performance for demanding apps.
The report also claims Samsung will supply the LPDDR5X RAM for the device. This is not anything new, as the South Korean Conglomorate has been a key component supplier for Apple in the past, including display panels and memory components.
Storage Options May Go Up to 1TB
Storage details have also surfaced through Chinese leaker Instant Digital, who claims the foldable iPhone will be available in three configurations including 256GB, 512GB, and the massive 1TB.
iPhone Fold Price Could Start at $1,999
The same leak also hints at potential pricing for Apple’s foldable iPhone. Instant Digital reportedly expects the device to be priced at 15,999 yuan (~$2,329) for the 256GB model, 17,999 yuan (~$2,620) for the 512GB model, and the top of the line variant with 1TB storage is said to cost 19,999 yuan (~ $2,911).
If these numbers hold, the iPhone Fold would become the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever released.
However, the pricing falls in line with previous rumors suggesting Apple’s foldable iPhone could cost between $2,000 and $2,400, putting it in the same range as other premium foldable phones currently available in the market.
Apple’s Foldable Strategy
While Apple has not officially confirmed the device, leaks about the company’s foldable plans have been increasing in recent months.
Launching the iPhone Fold alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could signal Apple’s strategy to position the device as an ultra-premium alternative rather than a replacement for traditional iPhones.
