I for one am going to buy Apple's foldable at the expected price between $2000-$2500.

As long as they sell an iPhone 18 at a more accessible price point, I do not see the issue.

The issue is that this will be another vision pro. The issue is that every year, we take device and services price increase (which of course nobody can do anything about because Apple-Google is a cartel based in the US where consumer protection is not even in the dictionary but that's a different topic probably) and nobody keeps track of just how much these things cost for a "not an influencer / person who works in tech / friend of the president" household.

I think it is likely the foldable will sell well.

While it will be at a premium price point, people use their phones for hours every day, while the Vision Pro is a niche gadget.

With videos, photos, web browsing, and reading being much better on a foldable, I can see this have mass appeal.
