Leaker Lanzuk reports that Samsung is accelerating development of its next tri-fold phone, potentially moving the launch up to late 2026 or early 2027 from a previously expected late 2027 release. The move follows Apple's reveal of the iPhone Duo and strong early sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup, with Samsung reportedly aiming to keep pricing close to the original TriFold's $2,900 tag despite rising component costs.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple built and internally tested a stubbier stylus meant to pair with its upcoming foldable iPhone, but the company is unlikely to release it alongside the device's debut. The design would attach to the phone's side for charging and storage, similar to existing Apple Pencils, but that placement could interfere with the fold mechanism and risk scratching the more fragile foldable display.

Samsung is said to have abandoned that extreme option, instead settling on a 5,700mAh to 6,000mAh target, possibly using silicon-carbon battery technology.
