THE apple has kept abreast of developments in the mobile device market, particularly advances made in the field of foldable smartphones. In fact, despite the fact that Samsung already stands out in this field, Apple has not shown any signs of wanting to launch a Apple iPhone foldable for years to come.
Even so, the Cupertino technology will have some assets to work in this field. Everything to not be left behind in this segment with more and more followers and users with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. Even so, the folding format presents its challenges and details to improve, specifically with the durability of the screens.
Apple will have solved the biggest problem with folding screens
As the new generations of foldable smartphones become more accessible, so does their adoption by the public. We currently see this reality in models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, with the fold of the screen increasingly hidden and less prominent.
At the same time, the durability of these screens is also increasingly proven. That is, with each new generation, the public is more aware and aware of the durability of these types of screens. Once again, Apple will be attentive to developments in this sector, as evidenced by the latest Cupertino patent.
Apple’s patent demonstrates the company’s interest in foldable smartphones
The patent was recently filed by the North American technology company before the competent entity, the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). There we know the new patent of the Cupertino giant to solve the wear of folding screens.
The patent shows how the screen is folded, paying attention to its flex zones, to minimize cracks and wear and tear with each new fold of the mobile device. On the other hand, this will be a new study and research solution for Cupertino.
Another patent filed by Apple for a possible foldable iPhone
That is to say, although the patent belongs to them, nothing obliges Tim Cook’s company to apply this concept with a foldable Apple iPhone. Furthermore, as he points out press At an international level, the company will continue to study this type of implementation to learn and master the segment, the format and its adventures.
In short, this is the last step that Cupertino technology has taken towards Apple’s first foldable iPhone. Now, it remains to wait for the release of the next chapters, but the interest of the iPhone manufacturer in this increasingly popular format is evident.
