Apple iPhone Fold Hinge Costs Drop, Potentially Lowering Price

Originally Published 3 months ago — by Notebookcheck

The cost of hinges for the Apple iPhone Fold is expected to drop to around $70–80 due to design optimization and manufacturing efficiencies, potentially making the device more affordable. This cost reduction impacts suppliers like SZS and Amphenol, who may see narrower profit margins, while Apple benefits from lower production costs. The supply chain is also expected to see increased competition with Luxshare-ICT joining as a hinge supplier after 2027.
