Surely the fact that the screen can fold means they’ll be more of a flexy plasticcy top material, so less brittle and more impact resistant than current hard glass displays?
Just speculating. Anyone touched a bendable display IRL yet?
The Samsung design might mitigate that issues as it looks to be more in tension at the crease when unfolded, as opposed to slight compression on the Mate X
Zero. I don't think Apple are going to even try making a foldable phone, instead banking on customer lock-in winning over gimmickry. Which is not the least wise thing to bet on, honestly.
That fact that two bendy phones have just been unveiled by competitors are enough indication to me, combined with the patents, that they’re certainly researching it. It’s within the realm of possibility and I’d say there’s a chance greater than zero they may decide to release one of their own at some point.
I think they would have been better off working on making two screens join neatly.
It needs to be done for those microled tv panels anyway.
