Apple's $2,000 Foldable iPhone Set to Debut at Wednesday Event
AAPL sits 42% above its 52-week low of $225.95.
Summary
Apple's annual product event on Wednesday is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone, priced over $2,000, marking the company's most significant hardware redesign since 2007. This is John Ternus's first keynote as CEO. Analysts project around 10 million units in the first year, with IDC forecasting 17 million foldable shipments by 2027. The device could lift average selling prices and accelerate upgrade cycles, though volumes remain modest relative to Apple's installed base. The event follows Apple's strong Q3 results and recent price increases across Mac, iPad, and accessories due to rising memory costs. Traders will watch final pricing, preorder timing, and durability details, as Apple events often trigger 'sell the news' reactions.
