About smartphoneoneSmartphones with foldable or flexible displays have been rumored for some time. According to several sources, such a smartphone wouldone It was supposed to be introduced by Samsung by the end of the year. Apple as of today, it also owns another patent, the use of which could mean that we will see iPhones with a flexible display in the future. The patent thus more or less confirms analytical reports from the past months, which predict the arrival of the flexible iPhone.

A patent application published late last year described a display that could be opened and closed like a book. The description of today's patent is, as is very often the case, comprehensible perhaps only to the author of the patent application. “Electronic devices can contain multiple cases. Their parts can be connected by hinges, which can be three, four, with slots, from flexible supporting structures or based on flexible structures of the case itself. The displays can then be mounted on the parts of the case that will overlap the hinges. When the cover bends, the display bends too,” it is in the description of the patent.

This is what the patent looks like in graphic form:

The patent simply counts with smartphonesonem, which will have a single display with the ability to bend in certain places. The concept itself is similar to last year's patent application, this is just a more specific description of the method of implementation. However, foldable smartphones already exist among Android competitors. This "convenience" has already been introduced by ZTE on its Axon M model. The problem is that the smartphoneone Although it can be folded, it has two displays.

What do you think about this potential trend? Would you like it? iPhone se with a folding display, or are you conservative and would you rather prefer a solid classic?
