APPLE is reportedly building a top-secret iPhone with a design twist that no other mobile has.

The handset is rumoured to have been in development for years – and might be nearly ready for release.

Recent leaks suggest that Apple is quietly developing its first foldable iPhone.

It would mean Apple joining some of its biggest smartphone rivals that have already released folding mobiles – including Samsung, Huawei, and Google.

Folding phones have the advantage of having giant screens that can be folded inwards, allowing it to still fit in your pocket.

Now Apple is expected to release its own version, which is tipped to the world’s first foldable phone with no crease on the screen.

That’s according to Korean industry publication ETNews, which says that Apple will have finished picking suppliers by April.

And it reports that Apple will start manufacturing the parts for the phone in the second half of 2025.

Then, the gadget would be expected to release in the second half of 2026 – probably in September, alongside the expected iPhone 18.

It would give Apple the edge over the iPhone’s foldable rivals, all of which have creases in the middle of the screen.

“Apple has decided to eliminate the crease at all costs,” said an industry insider speaking to ETNews.

“Regardless of price, to differentiate its foldable phone from existing models.

“It is believed that a new material property has been developed to make the crease disappear.”

The company reportedly building the screens for Apple’s foldable gadget is rumoured to be Samsung Display.

That might sound odd, but Samsung Display (which makes screens) and Samsung Mobile (which makes the phones) are both separate divisions of Samsung Electronics.

And Samsung Display has provided screens for Apple gadgets for years now.

Sadly there’s no guarantee on an exact release date.

But prolific Apple leaker and Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman recently said that Apple is looking at “finishing up development of its first foldable device for 2026”.

Several other leaks have also pointed to 2026 or 2027 releases for the long-rumoured gadget.

Of course Apple hasn’t confirmed any official plans for a foldable phone.

And it won’t even reveal details of its 2025 iPhone launch event until a week or two before the big day.

FOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE

Meanwhile Apple’s rivals have raced ahead on the foldables phone front.

The battle kicked off in late 2018 with Chinese start-up Royole’s folding Flexpai.

But it didn’t grab mainstream attention until the Samsung Galaxy Fold launch in 2019.

Since then, we’ve seen foldable phones from Huawei, Motorola, Google, and Vivo – but nothing from Apple.

Complaints around foldable phones often focus on device thickness, the crease on the screen, and the higher prices.

So Apple might need to resolve one or more of those issues to send the gadgets mainstream.

ITV confirms future of Unforgotten after six series and major cast shake-up.

After a rollercoaster sixth series and a huge cast shake-up, ITV has finally broken its silence on the future of Unforgotten.

Fans have been left wondering whether the show will return after its latest shocking twists – and now, the ITV has delivered an answer.

The broadcaster has confirmed that the show has been recommissioned for a seventh series following the success of series six.

The first episode of the new series has consolidated at 6.4 million with a peak viewing of 6.8 million after 7-day viewing.

After 14 days of viewing, the first episode peaked at 7.4 million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of the last year across all channels.

Unforgotten has also been streamed over 24 million times this year alone on ITVX.

Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar announced the dramas recommission via social media, unveiling a script for series seven along with a message thanking viewers for their support.

Series creator and Executive Producer Chris Lang will write the seventh series.

Chris said: “I am so delighted to have been asked to create another series of Unforgotten, and given the opportunity once again to follow Sunny, Jess and their brilliant team, as they attempt to crack another cold case. 

“Unforgotten is a drama that has always asked its audience to lean in, concentrate, and engage with complex ideas, plots and themes, and we are profoundly grateful that such a large and loyal audience continue to enjoy doing exactly that. Roll on series 7!!”

Series six came to a conclusion last night as Sunny and Jess unravelled their latest cold case, receiving widespread critical acclaim with many five-star reviews praising the drama and declaring Sunny and Jess “TV’s best detective duo.”

Gerry’s killer was finally revealed as Taylor Cooper.

Taylor told the officers that she went into the kitchen, after hearing a fight between her parents.

She grabbed a knife on the table and stabbed it into his leg, causing him to swing at her. 

The unexpected twist explains why her mum was so against the police speaking to her – even if she didn’t realise herself that she had struck the fatal blow.

The CPS decided it wasn’t in the public interest to charge Taylor over the killing.

The series is expected to average over 7 million viewers each episode.

Fans of the drama were left stunned after finding out the investigating officer of Cooper’s disappearance was Ram Sidhu (Phaldut Sharma), who viewers last saw back in season 4.

DCI Ram Sidhu was at the centre of the show’s drama as a murder suspect.

Although innocent of killing anyone, he was imprisoned for preventing a lawful burial, taking money for drugs and abusing his position as a police officer.

Sanjeev explained his character Sunny will always have negative feelings towards Ram as Cassie (Nicola Walker) was overworked and tired from her time on the case before her shocking death.

The sixth series featured a star cast including MyAnna Buring (The Witcher) and Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Damien Molony (Brassic).

Unforgotten season 6 is now showing on ITV1 and ITVX.

DANI CEBALLOS has gone viral after pulling a bizarre facial expression on the Real Madrid bench.

The midfielder appeared to let his boredom get the better of him as he sat and watched Real’s 2-0 win over Girona.

The TV camera zoomed in on Ceballos at the perfect moment to capture a moment of weirdness from the Spaniard.

With his chin resting on his hand at an awkward angle Ceballos opened his mouth wide open while rolling his eyes in a scene that would not have looked out of place in a horror film.

The clip was shared on X where it quickly racked up millions of views and thousands of likes.

Ceballos, 28, responded to the tweet by laughing and commented: “I’m dying.”

Fans found Ceballos’ antics both amusing and unnerving.

One reacted saying: “Is bro possessed”

Another added: “What the hell happened here?”

A third wrote: “Highlight of the season.”

Ceballos has played himself back into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans this season and has made 29 appearances this season, including eight in the Champions League.
