The iPhone Flip continues to be the rumored Apple device that just won't go away. And now new details have emerged about work moving forward on the foldable device.

Specifically, The Information reports that a foldable iPhone is now out of the conceptual stage and assigned a code name — a strong sign that the iPhone Flip could actually be in development. If that's the case, it could mean a release date as soon as 2026 — phones typically take a couple years to move through the production phase — though other reports suggest a foldable iPhone wouldn't be ready until 2027.
