The NA Times – Local News from the neighborhood.

IPHONE DUO…

Apple finally did it. At yesterday’s “Surprise and Shine” event at Apple Park, the company pulled back the curtain on its first-ever foldable iPhone — and after years of rumors, leaks, and speculation, the real thing is even more ambitious than most of us expected. Say hello to the iPhone Duo.

A New Shape for iPhone

This was also a bit of a milestone moment behind the scenes: it marked John Ternus’s first keynote as Apple’s CEO, following Tim Cook’s exit earlier this month. Fitting, then, that he used the stage to introduce what Apple is calling the biggest change to the iPhone in almost two decades.

The Duo uses a book-style folding design, closed it’s short, wide, and pocketable, but open it up and you get a full 7.6-inch internal display alongside a 5.4-inch outer screen for quick, on-the-go use. Both panels are Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion up to 120Hz, always-on support, and serious outdoor brightness. Apple says the unfolded screen is its largest iPhone display ever, offering roughly 50% more screen real estate than the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Built Like a Tank, Folds Like Paper

The engineering here is the real headline for gadget nerds. The frame and hinge cover are Grade 5 titanium, with a mirror-polished body and a hinge made from over 100 individual components engineered to keep the screen flat when open and stress-free when folding. Apple leaned on its Vision Pro team to help pull it off, and it shows: unfolded, the Duo is just 5.2mm thick, making it the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made. Folded, it’s a more familiar 11.3mm and weighs 254 grams.

One detail worth calling out: the inner display uses a nano-texture finish specifically designed to cut down on glare and make that dreaded foldable-phone crease far less noticeable. Early hands-on impressions suggest Apple may have actually solved the crease problem that’s plagued every other foldable on the market.

The Trade-Offs

A phone this new comes with some notable departures from the iPhone playbook. There’s no Face ID here, instead, Touch ID is built into the side power button. The rear camera system skips the telephoto lens found on the iPhone 18 Pro, sticking with a 48MP main and 48MP ultra-wide pairing. Under the hood, it runs the same A20 Pro chip found in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, backed by a dual-battery system built for the two-screen design.

It’s also an eSIM-only device, and while Apple didn’t mention MagSafe on stage, the spec sheet confirms it’s still supported.

Price and Release Date

Here’s the part that might make you wince: the iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for the base 256GB model, climbing to roughly $3,000 for the 2TB configuration. That’s a real premium over the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which start at $1,199 and $1,299 respectively. For anyone not ready to pay upfront, Apple’s new Apple Upgrade leasing plan starts at $57.99 a month.

It comes in two colorways, Star White and Night Sky, and unlike the rest of the new iPhone lineup (which ships September 18), the Duo won’t hit shelves until Friday, October 23, in more than 70 countries.

Worth the Wait?

Apple took its time getting here, and it shows in the details, the titanium build, the nano-texture display, the hinge engineering. Whether it’s worth the price tag (or the trade-offs like no Face ID and no telephoto) is going to come down to how it actually feels to use day-to-day, and how that hinge holds up months from now. But as a first swing at a totally new iPhone category, the Duo is easily the most interesting thing Apple has shipped in years.

Will you be lining up for one in October, or sitting this generation out? Let us know in the comments.

Drake Drops Three Albums: Everything You Need to Know About Iceman, Habibti & Maid of Honour

Music · Hip-Hop

Nobody saw three albums coming — but that’s exactly what Drake delivered. Here’s everything you need to know about Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour.

The NA Times · May 2026 · 5 min read
Drake · May 15, 2026
Iceman, Habibti &
Maid of Honour
Three albums. 43 songs. One midnight drop.

Drake doesn’t do things small. On May 15, 2026, the 6 God dropped not one, not two, but three full-length albums simultaneously at midnight — Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour — stunning fans who had been waiting for a solo project since 2023’s For All the Dogs. Within 24 hours, he became Spotify’s most-streamed artist in a single day for all of 2026.

The rollout was pure Drake theatre. He hid the release date inside a giant block of ice in downtown Toronto, which Twitch streamer Kishka cracked open and delivered to Drake’s house live on stream. He lit up the CN Tower. He teased fans across four Iceman livestreams spanning nearly a year. And then, at the end of Episode 4, he pulled out three hard drives and simply said: “All 3 albums dropping at midnight from the biggest sound.” Nobody was ready.

“I made this so that I could make this.” — Drake, Iceman Episode 4

The Three Albums at a Glance

9th Studio Album
ICEMAN
18 tracks · Hip-Hop / Rap
The main event. Hard-hitting, lyrically confrontational, and deeply personal. Drake addresses the Kendrick beef head-on and looks inward at fractured friendships. Features Future, 21 Savage, and Molly Santana.
11th Studio Album
HABIBTI
11 tracks · R&B / International
The smooth, late-night project. Internationally influenced production with a hazy, melodic feel. Features PartyNextDoor, Sexyy Red, Loe Shimmy, and Qendresa.
10th Studio Album
MAID OF HONOUR
14 tracks · Club / Dancehall
The party album. Club-ready, dancehall-influenced, and TikTok-built. Features Central Cee, Popcaan, Sexyy Red, Stunna Sandy, and Iconic Savvy.

ICEMAN — The One Everyone’s Been Waiting For

This is the album Drake owed the world. His first solo project since the Kendrick Lamar feud rewrote the narrative around him, Iceman is his response — and it’s a strong one. Rather than dodge the controversy, Drake leans in. The album’s title track references the fallout directly, and “Make Them Remember” features thinly veiled shots at Kendrick, JAY-Z, and Pusha T. Even the album artwork — a nod to Michael Jackson’s iconic sequinned glove — feels like a deliberate provocation.

Production is handled largely by longtime collaborator Noah “40” Shebib, and the results are some of the most polished work in Drake’s catalog. Standout tracks include “Ran To Atlanta” with Future and rising star Molly Santana, the already-viral “B’s On The Table” with 21 Savage, and “What Did I Miss?” — which first debuted during Episode 1 of the Iceman livestream series and has been a fan favorite ever since.

ICEMAN — Key Tracks
01 Make Them Cry
05 Ran To Atlanta feat. Future & Molly Santana
09 National Treasures
10 B’s On The Table feat. 21 Savage
11 What Did I Miss?
14 Make Them Remember

HABIBTI & MAID OF HONOUR — Bonus Worlds

The two companion projects are a different kind of Drake — looser, more playful, and clearly aimed at streaming algorithms and dancefloors. Habibti leans into smooth, internationally flavored R&B, with PartyNextDoor reuniting with Drake on the standout “Fortworth.” Maid of Honour is the club album, built around dancehall and Caribbean rhythms, and is clearly riding the energy Drake found with his 2025 hit “Nokia.” “Which One” with Central Cee and “Amazing Shape” with Popcaan are the highlights.

Critics have been mixed on the companion projects — some calling them inspired additions, others viewing them as filler. But what they can’t deny is the ambition. Forty-three songs in one night is a statement, and Drake clearly wanted to flood every streaming playlist on earth simultaneously.

The Bigger Picture

This release arrives at a fascinating moment in Drake’s career. The Kendrick beef of 2024, capped by “Not Like Us” winning multiple Grammys, had shaken his untouchable status. Add in legal battles over streaming fraud allegations and a reported $8 million in gambling losses, and the critics were ready to write his obituary. Instead, he came back with three albums, Spotify records, and a marketing campaign that dominated the internet for weeks.

Whether you think Iceman is a full comeback or just a very expensive distraction depends on what you want from Drake in 2026. But one thing is certain: nobody else in music could have pulled this off. Love him or hate him, the 6 God still knows how to make the whole world pay attention.

Where to start if you’re new to the albums

Start with Iceman — it’s the main event and the most complete project of the three
Then Maid of Honour — great for background listening, workouts, or a night out playlist
Habibti last — it rewards patient listening and is best late at night
Can’t-miss tracks: “Ran To Atlanta,” “B’s On The Table,” “Which One,” “What Did I Miss?”
All three are streaming now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal

Affordable Fashion Finds in NYC: Where to Shop Without Breaking the Bank

Fashion · NYC Shopping Guide

New York City doesn’t have to mean New York City prices. Here’s where the savviest shoppers go to look like a million bucks for much, much less.

The NA Times · May 2026 · 6 min read

Style on a budget

NYC’s Best Affordable
Fashion Spots

Let’s get one thing straight: living in New York City does not mean you have to spend like you live in New York City. The same streets that house Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue are also home to some of the most exciting, affordable, and downright brilliant fashion finds anywhere in the world. You just have to know where to look.

Whether you’re a Brooklyn local, a visitor trying to shop like a New Yorker, or someone who simply refuses to pay full price on principle — this guide is for you. Here are the spots that actually deliver on style without the sticker shock.

“The best-dressed people in New York aren’t always spending the most — they’re just shopping smarter.”

The Thrift & Consignment Scene

New York’s resale market is genuinely world-class. Between the volume of fashion-forward locals constantly turning over their wardrobes and the sheer density of stores, you can find incredible pieces at a fraction of their original price if you put in a little time.

Consignment

INA NYC

Chelsea + multiple locations

One of the city’s top consignment shops since 1993. Only accepts high-quality goods — think Chanel and Pucci at serious discounts.

Resale

Beacon’s Closet

Park Slope, Bushwick, Greenwich Village

A Brooklyn institution. Mix of vintage and modern pieces from mass brands to high-end designers. Prices from $10 tanks to $80 leather jackets.

Vintage

L Train Vintage

Multiple Brooklyn locations

Part of a larger thrift chain with multiple NYC outposts. Known for mint-condition finds at seriously low prices — denim jackets for $5, no joke.

Curated Vintage

Procell

Lower East Side

Staff with an exceptional fashion point of view. Well-curated, high-quality vintage at fair prices. Go here when you want something truly special.

Fast Fashion Done Right

Not every trip calls for hunting through racks. Sometimes you need something on-trend, right now, without spending a fortune. These spots deliver exactly that.

Affordable chain

Primark

8th Ave, Midtown

The UK’s beloved budget fashion chain now has a NYC home. Trendy, affordable, and constantly refreshed. Great for basics and seasonal pieces.

Budget-friendly

Rainbow Shops

Multiple NYC locations

Trend-driven styles added daily, with options for women, plus sizes, and shoes. Great value with strong size inclusivity.

Trendy boutique

Necessary Clothing

Little Italy

Eclectic finds

Think Closet

Williamsburg

Unique, eccentric pieces you genuinely won’t find elsewhere. A mix of Asian-influenced detailing and one-of-a-kind styles at reasonable prices.

Brooklyn’s Secret Fashion Weapon

If you’re based in Brooklyn — or just willing to make the trip — the borough is home to some of the city’s best budget fashion hunting grounds. The combination of a style-conscious population, a strong vintage culture, and neighborhood boutiques that actually care about their community makes Brooklyn uniquely suited for the savvy shopper.

Beyond Beacon’s Closet and L Train Vintage, keep an eye on local markets and pop-ups. Brooklyn Flea, which runs in DUMBO and other spots seasonally, regularly features independent vintage sellers with well-priced finds. And Flatbush’s own boutiques and Caton Market are worth a dedicated visit — you’ll find Caribbean-influenced styles and accessories that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the city.

Shopping Smart: Tips From a New Yorker

Knowing where to shop is only half the equation. Here’s how to actually get the most out of every dollar.

Pro tips for budget fashion in NYC

Hit the end-of-season sales — most boutiques discount heavily twice a year. January and July are golden months.
Shop off-peak hours — thrift stores on weekday mornings are less picked-over than weekend afternoons.
Follow your favorite stores on Instagram — flash sales and new arrivals get posted there first.
Go with a list, not a mood — knowing what you actually need keeps impulse buys in check.
Don’t overlook accessories — a great bag or pair of earrings from a discount store can elevate an entire outfit.
DSW for shoes — designer shoes at discount prices, and the selection is genuinely excellent.

The Spring 2026 Pieces Worth Hunting For

This season, the looks to build around are easy to find at budget-friendly price points if you shop strategically. Slouchy denim is everywhere — grab a pair secondhand and save yourself $100 over retail. Linen and lightweight trench coats are trending hard, and Primark and Rainbow both have solid options under $60. For accessories, layered jewelry and glass rings are the moment — and these are exactly the kinds of pieces you can find at market stalls and boutiques for next to nothing.

The key mindset shift for budget NYC fashion: stop thinking about where a piece is from, and start thinking about how it looks. The city’s best-dressed people figured that out a long time ago.

Flatbush, Brooklyn: Where Culture Lives on Every Corner

A guide to one of New York’s most vibrant, diverse, and underrated neighborhoods — right in the heart of Brooklyn.

If you’ve never spent a real afternoon in Flatbush, you’re missing one of Brooklyn’s best-kept secrets — except it’s not really a secret anymore. In 2024, Time Out named Flatbush the coolest neighborhood in all of New York City and the 17th coolest in the world. And honestly? That is so on point.

Flatbush sits at the literal heart of Brooklyn, bordered by the beloved Prospect Park to the north and Brooklyn College to the south. It’s a neighborhood that has always known who it is — layered, lively, and deeply human. Whether you’re a longtime New Yorker or just discovering the outer boroughs, Flatbush deserves a full day of your time.

“It’s the kind of neighborhood you only find in Brooklyn.”

A Little History

Flatbush has roots that go all the way back to 1651, when Dutch settlers founded it as Vlachte Bos — meaning “flat woodland.” For centuries it was farmland and quiet village life. Then came the railroads, the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park, and waves of immigrants from Italy, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Each community left its mark, and that layering is exactly what makes Flatbush feel so alive today.

The neighborhood is also home to Erasmus Hall, the oldest high school building in New York City, and the magnificent Reformed Dutch Church built in the 1790s. History isn’t just on display here — it’s woven into daily life.

The Vibe

Walk down Flatbush Avenue on any given afternoon and you’ll hear music drifting from open storefronts, smell jerk chicken from a sidewalk grill, and pass a fruit stand selling fresh coconuts next to a Victorian brownstone. The neighborhood hums with what can only be described as authentic Brooklyn energy — unpretentious, warm, and electric.

Flatbush is home to the largest and most diverse Caribbean-American and Latinx community outside of the West Indies. The area along Nostrand, Church, and Utica Avenues — known as Little Caribbean — is the heart of that culture, and it’s a destination in itself. We at The NA Times hail from Nostrand Avenue and can testify to just how cultural the neighborhood really is.

Where to Eat and Drink

The food scene here is a full world tour. Caribbean spots dominate in the best way, but you’ll also find Thai, Mexican, French, Japanese, and Italian restaurants sharing the same blocks.

MangoSeed Restaurant: Jerk chicken & waffles, bottomless mimosas, and homemade lemonade. A Flatbush staple.

Aunts et Uncles: Beloved vegan Caribbean spot with a cozy community feel.

Hibiscus Brew: Stop here for a cold sorrel drink — refreshing and totally authentic.

Sycamore Bar & Flowershop: Craft cocktails, an outdoor patio, and fresh flowers for sale. Yes, really.

Mr. P’s Homemade Ice Cream: Local favorite for creative, handcrafted scoops. Get a cone and walk.

Miss Barbs: A great wine spot with solid community energy and rotating events.

Things to Do

Beyond eating (though honestly, that alone could fill a day), Flatbush offers a lot. Prospect Park is right on the neighborhood’s doorstep — summer concerts at the Bandshell, fishing in the lake, ice skating in winter. It’s one of the best urban parks in the country and Flatbush residents treat it like their backyard.

For culture, the Kings Theatre on Flatbush Avenue is a must. Originally built as a movie palace in 1929, it was restored and reopened in 2015 as one of the most stunning performance venues in all of New York. Even if you don’t catch a show, walk by and take in the architecture.

The Flatbush Caton Market on Flatbush Avenue has been a neighborhood institution since 2000 — an open-air market with local vendors, food stalls, and community goods. And Lips Cafe hosts regular community events from Canvas & Cabernet nights to First Fridays networking — a great way to meet locals.

Architecture Worth Stopping For

One of Flatbush’s hidden pleasures is its architecture. The southern section of the neighborhood — often called Victorian Flatbush or Ditmas Park — is filled with grand, free-standing Victorian homes from the late 19th century. Tree-shaded front lawns, lush foliage, and grassy medians called the Flatbush Malls give the area a quiet, almost suburban feel that surprises most visitors.

Take a self-guided walk along Albemarle Terrace, Albemarle Road, and Rugby and Buckingham Roads. You’ll feel like you’ve been transported somewhere else entirely — while still being firmly in the center of Brooklyn.

QUICK TIPS FOR YOUR VISIT

Take the Q, 2, or 5 train — Flatbush has excellent subway access from Manhattan
Visit on a weekend for the most street life and open markets
Do a food crawl along Nostrand Ave through Little Caribbean
Check the Kings Theatre calendar before you go — shows sell out
Bring cash for the Flatbush Caton Market vendors
Walk Albemarle Road for the Victorian architecture — it’s stunning

The Bottom Line

Flatbush is one of those neighborhoods that rewards curiosity. It doesn’t try to be anything other than itself — and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. The food is real, the community is tight-knit, the history runs deep, and the energy is unlike anywhere else in the city. If you haven’t been, go. If you have, you already know.

Kristi Noem gets released from her role as DHS Secretary

March 5, 2026

In a major shake-up inside the federal government, Kristi Noem was removed today from her role as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security. The decision was announced by Donald Trump, marking one of the most significant cabinet changes during his current administration.

Noem, who previously served as governor of South Dakota, had been leading the Department of Homeland Security since 2025. Her tenure focused heavily on immigration enforcement, border security, and internal agency reforms.

Background on Noem’s Leadership

As Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Noem oversaw several major federal agencies responsible for national security, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

During her time in office, she became a central figure in the administration’s immigration strategy, frequently appearing in press briefings and policy announcements related to border enforcement and national security initiatives.

However, her leadership also sparked controversy and intense political debate in Washington, D.C., with critics questioning several policy decisions and operational strategies carried out by the department.

Growing Political Pressure

In recent weeks, Noem faced increasing scrutiny from lawmakers during congressional hearings. Members of Congress pressed her on issues ranging from border enforcement policies to internal management of Homeland Security operations.

The hearings, which drew national attention, amplified criticism from political opponents and added pressure on the administration to address concerns surrounding the department’s leadership.

Who Will Replace Her?

Following the announcement, President Donald Trump said that Markwayne Mullin is expected to step in as the next Secretary of Homeland Security.

Mullin, currently a senator representing Oklahoma, is known as a close ally of the president and has been vocal on issues related to border security and federal enforcement policies.

The transition is expected to take place later this month as the administration moves forward with leadership changes within the department.

What Happens Next?

The leadership shift could signal a new phase in how the administration approaches immigration enforcement and national security strategy. With the Department of Homeland Security playing a central role in border policy, disaster response, and federal security coordination, the new leadership will likely shape the direction of these efforts in the coming months.

Political analysts say the move reflects broader adjustments within the administration as it continues to refine its policy priorities in Washington.

Bottom Line:

The firing of Kristi Noem marks a significant change in leadership at the United States Department of Homeland Security. As Markwayne Mullin prepares to take over the role, attention will now turn to how the department’s policies and operations may evolve under new leadership.

Winter Like weather for the weekend!

We are all in disbelief it is SPRING! It is being reported that this weekend we will experience winter like temperatures and flooding from the heavy rains.Heavy rain is expected to arrive overnight on Friday.

You can expect heavy rain to arrive overnight on Friday. Stay warm and dry everyone.
