Apple's first foldable iPhone tipped to feature 7.8-inch display, A20 Pro chip, and 48MP cameras

Digital goods can sell for 20 or 100X more.

Again Price is determined by the value to the customer not the cost to the seller.

That's why people will pay more for a beer at a bar than the grocery store and even more at a stadium during an event. The cost is the same. The value to the customer is different.

That's why people will pay $500 for Harrison Ford's signature but only $5 for mine. The cost is the same. The value to the customer is different.
They'd sell MORE and make MORE profit, if they dropped the price a bit too!
 
Do people want folding phones? I have no interest in them, and I have never heard anyone express they care about them either.

The trade off of having a much more durable, lighter, and thinner phone for way less money seems to be a no-brainer to everyone.
Yes, believe it or not some people do want a folding phone. It's not about brains, but personal preference.

I started with the Z fold 3 and now I have the Z fold 6. I have no desire to go back to a regular slab. The screen real estate when you want it (it's not mandatory to open it every time) is worth every penny to me.

It's a little thicker and heavier, but still fits easily into the pocket. Can't say that about a tablet.
