It wasn't long ago when Apple iPhone's bendgate issue grab everyone's attention; the iPhone 6 Plus was bending under moderate temperature causing damage to its internal parts. And now we have info about the company filing patent for a technology that would allow iPhones to bend.
Apple has already faced rejection twice for the foldable or bendable display. But it seems that the company has been granted the patent for the technology it has been working on since 2013.
The patent shows the technical details that explain how the foldable display will function. The technology would be based on conductive carbon nanotube structures that are flexible and can combat to cracks and strong pressure.
Ceramic could one of the materials to be used in the manufacture of this new device.
If the rumours are to be believed, the next iPhone will witness a huge design overhaul, as the company celebrates the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. Rumours also suggest that the next iPhone will attribute a new glass-based bezel-less design. All the front-facing parts will be consolidated into the screen, including the Home button and the fingerprint sensor.
Well it's worth noting that the patent doesn't always make its way to the production, but it wouldn't come as a shock if we get a bendable iPhone in the near future since Apple is looking out for ways to stay in competition with other Android phone makers.
It will be interesting to see when Apple brings its iPhone adopting the bendable display technology.
