The brand has already patented the new model, which is very different and will attract users' attention!
With the constant advancement of technology, several cell phone manufacturers are looking for new ways to attract consumers' attention, with very different models. Currently, foldable cell phones are on the rise and many companies are investing in the model. The devices have super advanced screens and cameras, and come to the market with a slightly more "steep" price. This is because to be foldable, they need to be made with more resistant materials, so that they do not break easily.
Among the major brands that are manufacturing foldable phones are Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi and OnePlus, which are launching models that should soon reach consumers. However, one brand that is not so interested in the model is Apple, which, for now, has not announced any similar news.
But, according to rumors circulating on social media, Apple is working on a new model that promises to attract users' attention and should leave foldable phones only for its competitors. Really? Find out all the details about this new feature now!
New patent
Foldable cell phones have been the talk of the town for some time now, as they are different from current models, have very advanced features, and are also practical, since they are foldable, smaller and fit easily into pockets and bags. However, the model has not attracted much attention from the Apple brand, which does not have this type of smartphone in its catalog. This has irritated some users who demand more innovation from the manufacturer, which is one of the main ones in the world.
While brands like those already mentioned invest in this type of folding device, the Apple brand is working on its new bet, the iPhone 15, which should hit the market soon, and should be the most expensive cell phone ever sold by the brand so far. However, what has been rumored is that Apple has registered a patent that may indicate that a new model may arrive soon: the rollable smartphone.
This way, when the phone is not being used, it can be completely folded, safely, which will allow it to be even more portable than a “normal” phone. According to the patent document, the technology will have a display that can be rolled up for storage, and unrolled for use and viewing.
When closed, the outer part of the screen will have a surface resistant to knocks and scratches, to avoid any type of problem and keep it intact, preventing damage to the internal screen.
However, it is important to remember that registering a patent does not guarantee that the brand will manufacture and launch the model, it only guarantees that another competing brand will not be able to launch an identical model, as it already belongs to the brand that patented it.
Other patents
In addition to Apple, other brands such as LG, OPPO and Motorola have also presented proposals for rollable cell phones, however, none of these brands have launched the models presented, which would be a novelty for Apple, if it were to launch them.
The brand did not say whether it will work on the model and also did not release information about the model's patent.
