Update (October 1): The original source for this article has updated its quotes, making it clear that Chung did not specify North American clients in his answer. The North American element came from the original question, not Chung's response.

After years of rumors, the iPhone Fold is finally tipped to launch next year, alongside the iPhone 18 series. Sources have described the first foldable Apple phone as a doubled-up iPhone Air with a two-grand pricetag. But in spite of the pricing, Apple seems to be preparing for big sales figures.

The best foldable phones have come a long way since the first models launched almost a decade ago. But hopefully Apple's slow path to its own foldable will lead to a competitive first-gen product. The fact it's an iPhone will no doubt help convince a few upgraders who have never tried a foldable before, but hopefully there will be some other unique touches that will mean even Galaxy Z Fold owners feel a little jealous.
