iPhone Fold Storage Variants Leak, 1TB Model May Be the Most Expensive iPhone Yet

Apple's long-rumoured foldable iPhone continues to surface in leaks ahead of its expected debut and a new report now reveals the possible storage configurations for the phone. The information comes from tipster Instant Digital on Weibo, who claims the foldable iPhone will start at 256 GB and go all the way up to 1 TB.

iPhone Fold storage options and expected price

As per the newest leak, here are the foldable iPhone storage options and how much they could cost:

• iPhone Fold 256 GB - 15,999 Chinese yuan (Rs 2,14,500)
• iPhone Fold 512 GB - 17,999 Chinese yuan (Rs 2,41,500)
• iPhone Fold 1 TB - 19,999 Chinese yuan (Rs 2,68,500)

If accurate, the upcoming iPhone Fold could easily become Apple's most expensive iPhone to date, reinforcing its position as an ultra-premium offering. Apple's first foldable iPhone is widely expected to adopt a book-style folding design, similar to existing foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. 

As per earlier reports, the foldable iPhone could feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch internal screen. A brand new leak also indicates that Apple's first foldable iPhone may work like an iPad Mini in terms of usability.

The iPhone Fold launch is widely tipped to happen sometime in 2026 itself, likely alongside the iPhone 18 series. However, Apple may still be experimenting with branding. A previous report suggests the foldable could debut as either the iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold. 

Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly exploring multiple foldable designs. Apart from the book-style model, the Cupertino giant is said to be working on a clamshell-style foldable iPhone as well. 

Despite being a premium offering, leaks claim the foldable iPhone may ditch the telephoto camera to accommodate the folding design and internal hardware constraints. 

While Apple has yet to confirm any details, the steady stream of leaks suggests the company's long-awaited foldable iPhone could be a reality soon.
