Details of plans to shake-up Apple’s iPhone range over the next couple of years have seemingly leaked.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the company is planning to release thinner and foldable models of its flagship device.

The publication’s sources claim Apple is pushing for a 2026 launch for a foldable iPhone with a display size bigger than the 16 Pro Max’s 6.9 inch screen.

Starting in 2025, it’s also claimed Apple will introduce an iPhone that’s thinner than the 8-millimeter profile of current models. It will reportedly be cheaper than Pro models and feature a simplified camera system.

Apple recently announced the games coming to its Apple Arcade service in December and January.

Highlights include four Square Enix RPGs, all of which arrive on the service as ‘+’ versions. Final Fantasy 4 (3D Remake)+ and Final Fantasy 4: The After Years+ joined the subscription service last week, while Final Fantasy+ and Trials of Mana+ will arrive on January 9.

‘+’ versions of games on Apple Arcade are titles that are already available on the standard iOS App Store, but remove any monetisation present in those versions, be that an up-front price, in-game purchases or ads.

Talking Tom Blast Park, Boggle: Arcade Edition, Pac-Man 256+, Hot Wheels: Race Off+, Barbie Colour Creations+ and Little Cities: Diorama (Apple Vision Pro) joined Apple Arcade earlier this month.

January 9 will also see the release of Gears & Goo (Vision Pro), Three Kingdoms Heroes, Rodeo Stampede+, and It’s Literally Just Mowing+.
