Analysis
Apple will launch its first foldable, the "iPhone Duo," in October at ¥360,000, aiming at the high end. Foldables have been the battleground for premium differentiation among phone makers, and Apple's strong pricing pushes the fight to the very top. The ¥360,000 price is itself a signal: Apple isn't playing a price war but leaning on brand and ecosystem to support the premium. For readers following tech consumption and supply chains, a foldable iPhone stirs the whole component chain (hinges, panels), so watch which suppliers benefit. Watch whether actual sales sustain this price tier.
