Apple iPhone fold could be more affordable than expected as hinge costs drop to around $70–80For clearly dodgy definitions of "affordable" which in this case means "still unaffordable, but very slightly cheaper if at all given that Apple will probably just eat the difference to increase profit margin..."
I mean we're talking US$30-$50 less (on wholesale) for a device that will almost certainly cost over US$2000.
