Apple won a patent for a foldable screen to use on iPhones and other devices. On Tuesday, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent. It describes an electronic device with a display and cover that are flexible or bendable
The company filed an application in January 2018 and is among a series of different patent applications.
Excitingly, Samsung and Huawei have already shown off their foldable offerings at the MWC event in Barcelona. But the “patent holder company” is nowhere near to come up with foldable screen even in 2020. While Huawei and Samsung made it possible in 2019.
Expectedly, the brand will only be able to show its foldable phone in 2021.
To recall, the company also filed patents for a flexible display with touch sensors and portions that open and close like a book. Apart from this, it also filed a patent for a flexible iPhone that could be folded in half and grip a person’s clothes.

In 2018, the iPhone-maker had successfully secured a patent for its foldable phone with a flexible hinge and the use of a fabric for its housing.
In February 2019, Apple submitted a blueprint of a bendable smartphone describing a display with hinges. Different devices such as tablets, laptops, mobile accessories and even wearables can possess this.
Noticeably, a plethora of companies including Apple often patent ideas that never accomplished.
