One trend I was happy to see in 2023 was that we saw many more foldable phones than any year before. This surge also led to prices falling in a big way, so much so that flip phone-style foldables were being offered well below the industry average of $1,000. But this year, we could even see bigger price cuts that could force consumers to forget about pricey flagship phones.
In fact, I think it could also make people rethink buying popular mid-range phones like the Pixel 7a, Galaxy A54, and iPhone SE (2022). That’s because this could be the year we get a sub-$500 foldable phone. I’m referring to brand new models, not a last year model that’s getting a discount because of a holiday sale going on.
