A new leak from
Australia has given us the answer of how much
Apple's foldable
iPhone could cost. According to a conversation with a Vodafone Australia contact, pre-orders for the
iPhone Fold could begin on September 12, 2026. And if the reported prices are accurate, Apple's foldable won't be cheap. But we all expected that.
The Australian prices
The leak lists three options:
256GB: 3,699 AUD
512GB: 4,199 AUD
1TB: 4,699 AUD
That would put the
iPhone Fold above Apple's other models. It also matches what we've been hearing from leaks for months. Apple's first foldable is expected to be its most expensive iPhone yet. These numbers that idea too.
The numbers also match earlier rumors
Other reports from Europe pointed to a starting price of around €2,000. While estimates for China have suggested a price close to 14,999 RMB.
Of course, Apple hasn't confirmed any of this yet. Still, the fact that separate reports from different markets are landing in a similar price range makes the rumored pricing a little easier to believe.
Only a leak!
That said, the source behind the Australian leak is worth keeping in mind. The information comes from a single account on X that claims to have spoken with someone at Vodafone Australia. Vodafone nor Apple has confirmed anything. For now, this should still be treated as a rumor. Anyone can say that so be wary yall.
Might not even come out
There may also be another problem. Some reports claim Apple could unveil the Fold during its September event but delay its wider release due to supply and manufacturing issues. If that's true, the September 12 pre-order date may not tell the full story. Australia could potentially receive the phone later, even if the reported launch schedule itself turns out to be accurate.
For now, the iPhone Fold remains one of Apple's biggest mysteries for 2026. But if this leak is anywhere close to the truth(probably not), buyers should probably start preparing their wallets.
