Chances are that if you bought a phone in the last couple of years, you can relax, safe in the knowledge that you\u2019re not missing out on anything exciting from the current crop.<\/p>\n<p>That is, unless you\u2019re an iPhone fan. 2026 is expected to be a big year for Apple, with all signs pointing towards the release of the brand\u2019s first foldable in September. It\u2019s widely called the iPhone Fold or the iPhone Ultra (Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman says it will be classed among a new range of \u201cUltra\u201d devices from Apple, which also includes AirPods and a MacBook), although we won\u2019t know its name for sure until Apple says it on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the name, there\u2019s much more that is confirmed about the foldable iPhone, if the leaks flooding social media in advance of its launch are to be believed (they often are). For one, it\u2019ll be a wide, Passport-style foldable and rival the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide.<\/p>\n<p>For another, it\u2019ll likely only be available in two options: a silver\/white or navy blue colourway. To be perfectly accurate, accounts vary as to whether it\u2019ll be indigo, midnight or navy, but all tipsters agree that it\u2019ll be a suitably subdued, office-friendly, dark blue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">Foundry<\/p>\n<p>At the same time as it announces its first foldable, Apple is also expected to showcase the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. These are expected to feature minor hardware updates from last year \u2013 just the same iterative changes we\u2019re seeing from other brands. <\/p>\n<p>However, thanks to a scoop from our colleagues at Macworld, we know to expect them in new colourways: there\u2019s black, a tasteful pale blue, silver and \u2013 this year\u2019s hero colour \u2013 Dark Cherry.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine having a foldable iPhone in that colour. And keep imagining it\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/iPhone-18-Pro-dark-cherry.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1200\" alt=\"leaked iPhone 18 Pro color render in dark cherry\" class=\"wp-image-3116703\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">Foundry<\/p>\n<p>Dark Cherry replaces last year\u2019s highly successful Cosmic Orange, which Apple&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/article\/3154537\/iphone-18-dilemma-new-design-or-new-colour.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 18 Dilemma: New Design or New Colour? https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/article\/3154537\/iphone-18-dilemma-new-design-or-new-colour.html Publish Date: 2026-06-02 11:40:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262106,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/iphone_18_colour_design.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[81],"class_list":["post-262105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262107,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262105\/revisions\/262107"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
