Apple Stock Predicted to Soar with Foldable iPhone Launch
The tech world is eagerly awaiting Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) launch of its first foldable iPhone model, expected to happen on September 9. The anticipation has led Finbold to use a machine learning algorithm to predict Apple's stock price on the release date.
According to the AI prediction agent, the average Apple share price on September 9 is forecasted to be $318.22, implying a 10.64% gain from the current price of $287.61.
The machine algorithm combined forecasts generated by leading large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT 5.7 Luna, DeepSeek Chat, and Google Gemini 3.5 Flash. Notably, all three LLMs gave nearly identical figures, indicating strong conviction that Apple's stock will rally with the iPhone fold launch.
ChatGPT had the most bullish projection, predicting a 11.4% rally from the reference levels with a September 9 price of $320.4. Google’s Gemini model projected the stock would rise to $318.5, implying a gain of 10.74%. DeepSeek generated an average AAPL price of $315.75, or a 9.78% uptick.
The expected price tag for Apple's foldable iPhone is around $2,500, and experts expect the device to help reverse a downturn in the foldable smartphone market. The International Data Corporation (IDC) expects the foldable market to grow 12.6% in 2026 and accelerate to 18% growth next year.
