Apple received several patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office this week. These patents, which cover hardware such as a touch interface that covers the entire device, come to mind “foldable iPhone?” brought the question. Here are the patents and the details about the patents…
Patents that make the foldable iPhone possible!
Apple received several patents from the USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office) this week. These include hardware such as a touch interface that covers the entire device, touch sensors embedded in the case. When we look at the patents, we can imagine the foldable iPhone model.
When we look at the first drawing by Apple designers with patent applications, we can see a foldable iPhone. The patent shows the folding of a flexible touchscreen display wrapped around the phone. The idea is that the user can do simple operations on the phone without picking up the phone. And this makes Apple devices more user-friendly.
Important decision for foldable iPhone from Apple!
Apple is allegedly testing a technology that will increase power efficiency in the foldable iPhone model.
Apple also thinks that the touch sensors, the first example of which we saw with the iPhone 7 (you can take the first non-physical home button design for example), are of higher quality and user-friendly than physical keys. This idea of Apple actually walks in line with the patents they have received. Thus, the touch sensors that they will add to the cases of new Apple devices will provide great convenience for users.
What is the general idea behind the patents obtained?
When we look at the general idea behind the patent, we see an idea especially for the foldable iPhone model. Apple stated that this technology can also be used on non-foldable devices. In short, Apple states that it has obtained patents for completely user-friendly products, and that these patents can be used in foldable models when the time comes.
