“Apple” is planning to enter the world of foldable smartphones, through a recent patent that seeks to solve the technical problems that competing companies suffered from, the most important of which is the durability of the “screen hinge” and the appearance of folding marks in the bending area.
The new technology developed by the company is based on an innovative hinge design, which allows the screen to bend in a wider circular shape from the inside, which reduces pressure on the organic layers of the screen and protects them from damage with repeated use.
The sources also explained that “Apple” takes great care in using chemicals and ultra-thin flexible glass compositions, to ensure a smooth opening and closing process without any marks appearing in the middle.
Despite the growing speculation that the device will be launched soon, the company is still subjecting the phone to extensive tests to ensure that it conforms to its strict standards for quality and durability, amid a global wait among technology enthusiasts for what the “foldable iPhone” will add to the concepts of design and performance.
