A new Apple patent hints that a foldable iPhone could be coming soon after all

Rumours of a foldable iPhone continue to circulate, but new Apple patents give a more concrete idea of the company's possible plans.

Here's What We Know

A new patent "20240310942" describes a device with two screens: a large foldable internal one and an additional external one. It also mentions the possibility of a triple foldable display, similar to the Huawei Mate XT. Interestingly, the patent mentions "foldable iPhone and other devices," which hints at the possible emergence of foldable iPads.

Foldable devices are growing in popularity, and Apple probably wants to join the trend. However, if the company delays release, it risks falling behind competitors such as Samsung, which plans to introduce a stretchable display next year. Collapsible displays could become the new standard due to their variable length, making them more versatile than foldable screens.

While patents don't always translate into actual products, if a foldable iPhone does come along, it's sure to be a sales hit.
