The iPhone Ultra will easily be the star of the Apple September 9 event, eclipsing the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. That’s because this device will be Apple’s first foldable phone, launching several years after the Android competition.

Android phones are never the top-selling smartphones globally, but the ones that get closest are almost always budget models. In Q2 2026, though, Samsung achieved a major win with the Galaxy S26 Ultra topping the charts as the best-selling Android phone globally.

For years, Samsung has watched rivals turn battery capacity into a numbers game while the Galaxy S Ultra line remained stuck at 5,000mAh. That figure hasn’t changed since 2020, even as 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh batteries become increasingly common on competing Android flagship phones. Now, a new leak suggests Samsung may have secretly tested its own…

Leaker Evan Blass has just posted what he claims are the three colors coming to iPhone Ultra, and they include a surprising red option.

The most popular Android phones in a quarter tend to be cheap models. That’s not a surprise, as the lower prices make these phones more accessible than high-end models. However, the latest global market share report reveals a surprising top-seller for Android.

Sometimes a headline is the complete inverse of the real news in the story, and that’s the case with a new survey measuring interest in the upcoming iPhone Ultra. The headline says 75% of US adults aren’t interested in a folding iPhone, while the real surprise is that as many as 25% are.
