Not long ago, we reported that the CEO of Samsung confirmed that Samsung was indeed developing a new folding mobile phone. Today, it came out that Apple had submitted a patent related to folding screens. According to foreign media reports, it can be seen from Apple's latest patent code 10104787 that the patent is referred to as "flexible display device", and the description of the patent is: "flexible display can be installed on the shell part with overlapping hinges."

From the patent picture, the structure of this device being developed by Apple may be similar to that of the Samsung folding screen phone previously exposed. The difference is that there will be no gap in the folding screen structure of this device. It is reported that iPhone engineers are studying a variety of folding hinge structures, and it is unclear which design scheme will be adopted eventually.

In addition, according to foreign media, because it is difficult to develop this product, and it is not clear what kind of market feedback this product will receive, Apple needs to spend more time on product development and market evaluation than previous products, so this phone will be launched after 2020. If this is the case, we may need to wait longer to see the release of this folding screen iPhone. According to the information collected so far, in addition to Apple, Samsung, Apple's old rival, will take the lead in releasing new folding screen phones, and other manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi will also follow suit to launch their own folding screen products. Who will be the biggest winner in this mobile phone war with folding screen? Coming soon!
