The long-awaited foldable iPhone — rumored to be called the iPhone Fold — should arrive soon. So far, Apple has kept a very tight lid on its first-ever foldable phone, but all signs point to a fall 2026 release.

Tech enthusiasts and early adopters already love foldables — and they have plenty of options — but Apple’s been notably absent from the genre. As we await official details, here’s everything we know about the future addition to the iPhone lineup, including the latest rumors, possible specifications, and pricing information.

When will the iPhone Fold be released?

We think the iPhone Fold is coming in the fall of 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Numerous rumors pointed to this over the last year, so it seems pretty certain at this point, though a delay is still a possibility, especially given the global memory shortage.

We’ve also heard several reports about Samsung Display producing the OLED displays for the iPhone Fold, which is likely, as Samsung’s got the best flexible display tech in the game. There’s a reason Samsung released the Galaxy TriFold while the world is still waiting on the first foldable iPhone.

How much will the iPhone Fold cost, and will people buy it?

The iPhone Fold is likely to be expensive. An early estimate from research analyst Arthur Liao suggested the price tag for the Fold — gulp — could come in around $2,399. That’s in line with expectations in a new report from International Data Corporation (IDC). Last year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone Fold is likely to retail between $2,000 and $2,500.

Despite the sizable cost (the flagship Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is priced at $1,999.99), sales expectations remain high. The IDC report estimated Apple would siphon one-third of the spending in the foldable market in 2026.

“But the real game-changer for the category comes at year-end when Apple enters the foldable space, projected to capture over 22% unit share and a staggering 34% of the foldables market value in its first year, thanks to an expected average price point of $2,400,” read the report.

The latest iPhone Fold leaks

Most recently, a leaker known as Instant Digital posted some alleged renders of the iPhone to the Chinese social media site Weibo. Like most leaks, especially the ones pertaining to Apple, we can’t confirm their authenticity. However, they line up with earlier reports of the overall look of the phone.

Instant Digital makes some interesting claims. Most notably, the report says the iPhone Fold will have the largest-ever iPhone battery.

“The volume buttons are not on the left side,” reads a translation of the post. “Instead, they are placed directly on the top of the right-side frame (similar to the volume button layout on the top of the iPad mini). This may take some getting used to for users’ typical phone habits.”

The post also stated, “The rear dual camera + right-side microphone + flash are arranged horizontally. The camera module appears to be fully black and does not match the body color. Currently, the only confirmed color is white, but it is expected that Apple will launch two color options.”

In December 2025, we also saw lots of alleged leaks and renders, which all share a similar design. We’d take these with a grain of salt, of course.

What will the iPhone Fold specs look like?

The iPhone Fold remains a mystery to some extent, of course, but we do have a very rough idea of what it could offer. The report from UDN noted the iPhone Fold could be creaseless, which means you wouldn’t see that awkward line when it was folded open.

Since then, we’ve seen several reports claiming that Apple is committed to making the iPhone Fold’s display the best it can possibly be. It should be very durable, super thin, and yes, without a visible crease.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also posted several reports on the iPhone Fold recently, including laying out the basic specs for the device. He said that the foldable iPhone would be a book-style foldable with four cameras — two on the back, one on the inside, and one front selfie camera. Gurman also predicted it would use Touch ID, even though iPhones typically use Face ID.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported earlier this year that the iPhone Fold would have a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, and measure in at just 9 to 9.5mm of thickness. We heard another rumor in September 2025, which claimed the iPhone Fold would look like two iPhone Airs put together, with a similar thickness of 5.6mm. Why the discrepancy between the two reports? It could be the difference between the device’s thickness when folded and unfolded.

There’s also talk about Apple using innovative tech to make the iPhone Fold lighter and more durable than most foldables. These rumors include a report that the company is using liquid metal for the phone’s hinge, which should improve durability.

Mashable’s Alex Perry also compared the potential specs of the iPhone Fold with the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, which we know a lot more about. Obviously, the Samsung trifold will be larger and thicker than the iPhone Fold. Otherwise, we’re still waiting on official details. But if recent rumors prove true, the wait shouldn’t be too much longer.

Finally, even though the iPhone Fold is still in the realm of fantasy, there are already rumors about a follow-up, clamshell-style foldable from Apple, potentially called the iPhone Flip. That one probably isn’t coming until next year, though.

Even though adult me realized that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were a gestalt of many existing pop culture ideas (most especially Voltron), they seemed like a revelation of innovation to my childhood self. After all, what could be cooler than a bunch of high school superheroes who got to kick butt and take names in their own iconic mechs before merging into a super-robot and putting the villain in his place? As it turns out, the only thing cooler than our original crop of heroes was the Green Ranger, and you can now stream Green With Evil (which collects the five-episode miniseries that introduced this mysterious character) for free on Tubi. 

The premise of Green With Evil is that when a cool new kid (Tommy Oliver) with mad martial arts skills shows up, Rita Repulsa does the unthinkable: she transforms him into the Green Ranger, making him her ultimate emissary of evil. He quickly proves himself more than equal to the task of defeating the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, utilizing both the Sword of Darkness and his own iconic Dragonzord. Still, the other rangers sense the good in him, and the story soon turns into a race against the clock to save the Green Ranger’s soul before he destroys everything and everyone the Rangers hold dear.

When Evil Goes Green

While there’s a lot to love here for anyone hoping for a serious dose of ‘90s nostalgia, Green With Evil will resonate particularly well for longtime fans of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For example, this is the first and only multi-episode story in the entire series, which helps to give it a kind of epic grandeur not found anywhere else in the show. This is also the first story to introduce the notion of new Rangers joining the team in the middle of a season, something that would later become a staple of the original Power Rangers and its many fan-favorite spinoffs.

Speaking of fan-favorites, the most notable thing about Green With Evil is that it introduced Jason David Frank, the Green Ranger, to the Power Rangers canon. He quickly established himself as the bad boy of these otherwise squeaky-clean heroes, giving him the cachet needed to headline multiple different spinoffs. In this way, he became a kind of franchise spokesman, and he continued in this capacity until his tragic death in 2022.

Have Zord, Will Travel

For me, returning to these classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes (in a convenient movie format, no less) unlocked a nostalgia that had been lying dormant nearly as long as Rita Repulsa herself. The show really is the opposite of modern superhero media in almost every way: it’s bright instead of murky, it’s heartfelt instead of ironic, and it’s gloriously self-contained instead of shoehorning itself into a cinematic universe. Streaming Green With Evil made me feel like a kid again, and before the credits rolled, I found myself trawling through eBay, hoping to buy the Dragonzord toy I coveted as a youngster. 

Of course, the simplicity of the Power Rangers is a double-edged sword: the story is nice and straightforward, but that also means it offers no real layers for fans hoping for anything deeper. You’re either all-in on the show’s campy glory (which includes goofy rubber-suited baddies and laughable special effects) or you’re not, and if you don’t love the endless “masks vs. monsters” fights, you may quickly run out of patience. Conversely, if these kinds of goofy action/comedy shenanigans are your jam, you’ll likely find Green With Evil to be a veritable feast of early ‘90s awesomeness.

Looking Your Childhood Hero In The Eyes

Back in the day, I aged out of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fandom fairly quickly, so I never really checked out the spinoffs, many of which were headlined by the late, great Jason David Frank (one of my childhood heroes). But this first show was a huge part of my childhood, and I remember entire classrooms full of sugar-laden children who couldn’t wait to re-enact their favorite episodes on the playground. Rewatching Green With Evil, it’s easy to see why everyone was so hyped: with its blend of monsters, mechs, and martial arts, the Power Rangers had everything anyone could want from a superhero show.

Will you agree that Green With Evil is a perfect tribute to Jason David Frank and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or would you rather fight an army of Putties than watch the whole thing? The only way to find out is by grabbing your remote and streaming it for free on Tubi. Just be prepared for the nostalgia overdose, and do your best not to wake the family when (not if) you end up shouting, “It’s Morphin time!”

The Wrecking Crew teams Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in a brotherly buddy movie whose trailer promises lots of explosions and great one-liners, kind of like the action heroes of 80s and 90s classics. It’s a rare streaming entry that actually delivers on that promise.

Momoa and Bautista play half-brothers James and Johnny, who share a father and a complicated past. Their father is killed in a hit-and-run accident, bringing the prodigal Johnny back to the family fold in Oahu, Hawaii, to at least investigate why the Yakuza visited his Oklahoma home. The brothers don’t see eye to eye, and James isn’t quite convinced their father was murdered, while Johnny is sure the Yakuza were involved.

Johnny is a cop, and James trains Navy SEALs, so both men know how to handle themselves as they begin to uncover a plot that threatens their Hawaiian home. A maze of Hawaiian gangsters, Yakuza hitmen, and elite security stands between them and the truth. As the brothers get closer to finding out about their father’s death and sorting out their own tangled relationship, they leave behind them an ever-increasing trail of destruction that will rock Oahu.

Classic Action Stars In The Modern Era

James and Johnny are classic action stars who recall the mayhem of classics like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, or Commando. Almost every scene moves things along by leaving more questions than answers and inviting fights, explosions, car chases, and intrigue. As they try to solve the mystery, the brothers struggle to deal with each other, the memory of a dismissive father, and the threat to their families from the events they’ve been drawn into.

These two men are not the passive heroes of modern movies. They are manly men, dripping masculinity in every scene. They deal with their emotions as men (despite James’s wife being a child psychologist), and they solve their problems like action heroes: by beating the crap out of them, including each other.

The Wrecking Crew exhibits its leads as men, dressed in clothing that shows off the muscles of both actors, particularly Momoa. The Hawaiian setting gives them plenty of opportunity to wear things like Hawaiian shirts and tank tops, and no opportunity is wasted to show off the two actors to their best advantage.

However, as macho a movie as it is, the women are not weeping violets. They know who their men are, but they also do their part to help uncover the plot through their own ingenuity and agency. Morena Baccarin co-stars as Johnny’s love interest, whose scene in the movie’s trailer during one of the car chases does not do justice to her actual performance in the full sequence.

Every Trope Of The Genre In One Explosive Car Chase Scene

The Wrecking Crew’s action swings between well-choreographed melee and gun fights and frenetic car chases that raise the stakes every time, highlighted by cinematography that brings us along for the ride. Two skirmishes take place in a windowed hallway that reminded me of the “House of Blue Leaves” fight in Kill Bill Vol. 1. One car chase invokes every single trope of the genre, then amplifies them into an explosive crescendo. Don’t look away, because there are tons of visual cues that connect each scene to the next.

Part of the amazing visuals is the fact that Hawaii itself is made a character through the use of camera angles and imagery. Oahu, where the story takes place, is always present, from scenic drone shots to dramatic beach scenes and major action sequences. In specifically strategic shot, a prominent mountain peak is framed between the two leads, reminding viewers that Hawaii is always over their shoulders.

Maia Kealoha Redeems Herself In A Movie That’s Actually About Ohana

The Wrecking Crew also features True Blood’s Stephen Root and Frankie Adams of The Expanse, as well as Jacob Batalon, known for the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies and pretty much cast to type. Young Maia Kealoha, who played Lilo in Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, steals the show in almost every scene she’s in and hints at a promising career as an actress; at any rate, it’s nice to see Lilo get to be in a movie that is actually about ohana, or families sticking together, after the disappointment of her other major film.

If there is anything wrong with The Wrecking Crew, it’s a short period of investigation in the middle of the film that seems to drag on, especially compared to the intense pace of the rest of the movie. This part only lasts about 15-20 minutes, though, and then we’re thrust right back into adventure and excitement.

An Unapologetically Masculine Film

The Wrecking Crew is unapologetically masculine while exhibiting an emotional depth that doesn’t reduce its leads into weeping sissies. These men of action deal with things in very male ways without shame while never slipping into today’s tropes about “toxic masculinity.” They suffer and are not invulnerable, either physically or emotionally, but ultimately, they are men of honor doing what men do to protect their families.

The Wrecking Crew has found a way to give audiences what they’ve been missing: a compelling story, a cast of characters we can all aspire to be, and an old-fashioned battle between good and evil. Once you’re on this wild ride, you’re not getting off until the credits roll.

The Wrecking Crew is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
