| Is Apple developing a foldable iPhone? |
This week, Apple Corps patented a foldable device with a unique sealing mechanism that uses a moving plate to prevent screen wrinkling or damage when folded. The Trademark Office (USPTO) declares that a joint agency ensures that there is sufficient separation between the first and the second part. the screen.
According to the patent, the movable panels extend to cover the area when the device is open and then retract when the device is folded.

One of the main problems for mobile phones is the removal of wrinkles on the screen. Phone screen.
On August 9, 2016, Apple filed a patent application called the "Flexible and Electronic Display" that describes a smartphone with a flexible screen that can be folded in half.

It should be noted that foldable smartphones are still in their infancy, and that there is still much room for innovation, and that Apple's patents for foldable devices and mechanisms in recent years have had no doubts about these products, but we have to wait and see until the company plans to launch iPhone foldable.
