Apple Fold
Last March, CNBC reported that a new foldable iPhone could be released in 2020, and that it could likely double up as a tablet. Apple filed a patent for ‘Flexible display devices” in October 2018. It includes the foldable device related patents which have been awarded to Apple over the years. The document refers to the hinges where the screen bends and how they work.
Apple is not always first to launch products from previous trends. The Apple watch wasn’t the first smart watch, neither was iPhone the first smart-phone. The company waits to refine created products and puts together new exciting features to create something more intuitive and superior to competitors.
Some notable features Apple introduced are the touch ID, Apple Pay and Face ID, this time it delayed in releasing its foldable phone. The iphone X Fold is set to be released in 2020.
These new foldable phones have Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays which are made up of pixels that are able to bend. OLED panels enjoy excellent viewing angles, primarily because the technology is so thin and the pixels are so close to the surface.
We look forward to these digital trend and can’t wait to start collapsing our phones!
