iPhone Fold could be cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or 8

TL;DR Apple could achieve a lower iPhone Fold manufacturing cost, allowing for a price under $2,000. The iPhone Fold could cost about 4% less to manufacture than the China-exclusive Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition from last year. This is likely possible with Apple opting for smaller screens and emphasizing less on sleekness than Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an exquisite foldable phone, but its $2,000 price likely makes it unreachable for many. While Apple is expected to enter the seg
