And leading foldable-phone maker Samsung just reported better sales numbers for its seventh generation of foldables than ever before.

Bad Apple but it's played inside Super Mario Bros

Happy ACEVideos day! Last year, I submitted an unoptimized (almost working) TAS of Super Mario Bros. that demonstrates executing arbitrary code. Due to emulator inaccuracies with “Open Bus”, the run did not sync on console. One pull request and a year later, I’ll be executing a larger payload inside Super Mario Bros. which syncs on console! (Thank you Alyosha for verifying this!) This tool assisted demonstration uses pretty much everything I know about the NES. Enjoy! (This link is for the ab

Double Storm Threat Expected to Unleash Dangerous Surf Along U.S. East Coast

Two powerful Atlantic storms are threatening the East Coast with dangerous surf conditions this week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The foldable iPhone might look like two iPhone Airs stuck together

While it seems like a foregone conclusion that there will be a foldable iPhone, possibly late next year, there hasn’t been much info about what it would look like. In the latest installment of his Power On newsletter Mark Gurman says he’s being told it will look more or less like two iPhone Airs stuck together. That means it should be pretty thin, though potentially thicker than a Pixel 10 Pro Fold (10.8mm) and Galaxy Z Fold7 (8.9mm) since an iPhone Air comes in at 5.6mm thick. Though Ming-Chi

Next year’s new foldable iPhone may have a lot in common with iPhone Air: report

Despite this year’s new iPhones only barely hitting store shelves, new information about next year’s iPhone lineup is already brewing. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman today shared some new details about the all-new foldable iPhone set to launch next year – including how it should look, some pricing details, and more. According to today’s Power On newsletter, we should expect the foldable iPhone to look incredibly similar to two iPhone Air’s side by side, which would be a technical marvel. It should als

I love book-style foldables, and they’ve ruined slab phones for me

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority Ever since I used the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, I have seen the benefits of having a book-style foldable — better productivity, flexible usability, and more. The form factor has only become more and more polished over the years, thanks to better app optimization and thinner designs. In this time, I have used book-style foldables from Samsung, Google, HONOR, OnePlus, vivo, HUAWEI, Tecno, and more. While Samsung delivered its most improved folding phone with the

Samsung actually tries with Galaxy Z Fold 7, breaks foldable sales records

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is reportedly the fastest-selling Galaxy foldable in Western Europe during its first four weeks in the region. The Galaxy device has also outdone foldable phones from other brands in the region during the same time frame. Samsung’s latest foldable phone is extremely thin and light, while offering a 200MP main camera. Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in July, and it’s a major upgrade over previous models. We previously heard tha

iPhone Air is Apple’s thinnest, lightest iPhone yet

Apple announced a new iPhone Air, coming in at just 145 grams and a 5.5mm thickness as the company tries to pack a punch in a slim design. Does that also mean we might see a foldable iPhone in the near future? Apple remains behind on that form factor, but the Air brings it one step closer to competing with the likes of Samsung and Google’s foldable lineups.

Samsung wasn’t even the second-most popular foldable maker in Q2 2025

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung only accounted for third place in foldable phone shipments in Q2 2025, according to Counterpoint Research. HUAWEI was in first place, while Motorola was the runner-up. This report doesn’t take Samsung’s latest foldables into account, as they launched in Q3. Foldable phones only account for a small number of smartphones shipping globally, but a new market share report has revealed some bad news for Samsung for Q2 2025. Counterpoint Research has p

64% of People Still Don't Want a Foldable Smartphone, CNET Survey Finds

Foldables have been a staple of the smartphone release cycle for years now, with products from companies such as Samsung, Motorola and Google. Despite the refreshingly unique form factor in a sea of mobile uniformity, the vast majority of consumers still aren't sold. According to a CNET survey, 64% of respondents say they aren't willing or interested in buying a foldable smartphone in the next year, while just 13% say they are. An additional 20% aren't sure if they want a foldable and only 3% s

PSA: Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger isn’t the same everywhere

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger may be missing one feature depending on where you buy it. Users on Reddit point out that the charger’s prongs don’t fold as advertised on Google’s website and Amazon. The lack of foldable prongs may be limited to specific regions, though. Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger is surely one of the best accessories you can buy for your Pixel 10 phone. The $59.99 USB-C fast charger uses proprietary tec

Samsung’s trifold might be launching pretty soon

We know officially that Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and recent rumors suggest that might mean either this month or next. Just don’t expect it to appear at this week’s Unpacked event, which promises products ranging from “premium AI tablets to the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family.” Korea’s ET News reports today that the new foldable could be unveiled as early as this month, with the phone actually on sale in November. That launch sounds pretty limited t

This contentiously thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 competitor is now available in more regions

TL;DR The HONOR Magic V5, first introduced in China as the “world’s thinnest foldable,” is now on sale in the UK and EU at ~£1,699 / €1,999.

Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

Apple's iPhone 17 Air Might Give Us Hints About Its Rumored Foldable

Anticipation is high for the launch of the next iPhone -- which could be unveiled during Apple's Sept. 9 event -- and so are expectations. Rumors have been swirling for months about the upcoming lineup, which most notably may include a thinner model dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. But speculation isn't stopping there; what Apple reveals this fall could hint at what it has in store for next year, too. Thin phones are undoubtedly having a moment, with companies like Samsung, Huawei, Honor and Oppo deb

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Would Prefer If You Moved on From Hating the Ending of ‘Game of Thrones’

Game of Thrones was beloved for much of its run—winning awards, topping “best” lists—before it famously went off the rails in its eighth and final season. Time hasn’t softened the blow one bit, even with the subsequent success of the prequel series House of the Dragon. Fans will likely never forgive the show’s disappointing downturn, and that’s something one Game of Thrones star in particular hasn’t quite come to terms with: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister. Of course, Coster-W

Details About the First iPhone Foldable Are Coming Into Focus

We keep getting more and more details about what Apple's first foldable iPhone is going to look like when it launches in 2026. And the latest info is pretty intriguing. As reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the foldable is code-named "V68," will have four cameras and will be available only in variations of black and white. The device will also rely on Touch ID (not Face ID) and will not have a SIM card slot. The four cameras will consist of one on the front, two on the back and one on the ins

Apple will reportedly bring back Touch ID on a foldable iPhone

As an iPhone user who has watched the release of foldable Android mobile phones with envy, I can't wait for 2026. Yes, Apple's 2025 iPhone launch event is next month, but I've been eyeing Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored to launch next year. It's part of three years of Apple's planned iPhone redesigns. While this would be a new addition to Apple's lineup, Bloomberg reports that it will come with a throwback feature: Touch ID. Why it's reverting to Touch ID from Face ID is unclear as the l

Foldable iPhone coming next year to feature four cameras, Touch ID, Apple cellular modem

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman spilled some more details about the upcoming foldable iPhone in his Power On newsletter today. He says the foldable iPhone will open like a book to reveal a larger inner display, like many Android foldables. The foldable iPhone will feature a total of four cameras, one on the front screen, one on the inside and two on the back. It will also use Touch ID for biometrics and use Apple’s in-house cellular modem for connectivity. The inclusion of four cameras supports the mu

Google Chose Durability Over Sleekness for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and That's OK

When Samsung debuted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the spotlight was on how thin and light that foldable phone is. On Wednesday, Google took a different approach when unveiling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, focusing more on internal upgrades like a larger 5,015-mAh battery and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance -- a major step in the world of foldables -- while sticking roughly with the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Both Samsung's and Google's updates are designed to make foldable phones

Forget the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Foldables Should Look Like the Microsoft Surface Duo

Google almost got it right with the first Pixel Fold. As Google unveils its latest foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, at this year's Made by Google event, I keep thinking about the original Pixel Fold. Released in 2023, it was far from a perfect phone. It was underpowered, had a thick inner bezel and couldn't open completely flat. Even then, it was a beautiful device with a shiny stainless steel chassis that felt substantial in the hand. Not only that, it was wide. The passport-like form factor m
