This news turned out to be a prank, which has disappointed a lot of Rolleiflex lovers. The Twitter account that is quoted below is now renamed to RolleiFans. It started out as a student prank, but the owner is now apologising to the photographic community.
According to a tweet on the official Rolleiflex Twitter account, Rolleiflex is to bring the TLR into the digital age. The release date is set to 4 April 2023.
The specs of this digital Rolleiflex TLR are as follows (again according to the Twitter account):

This is truly exciting news and fully in line with the current trend of nostalgia in photography.
