An updated patent by Apple shows various ways it could use a flexible or folding display.<\/p>\n

Apple\/USPTO <\/span><\/p>\n

Everyday it seems like there are rumors and leaks about another company working on a foldable phone. Xiaomi<\/a>, Huawei<\/a>, LG<\/a>, Lenovo<\/a>, Motorola<\/a> all are rumored to have a bendable or foldable phone in the works<\/a><\/span>. On Thursday, Apple<\/a> updated a patent with drawings of a foldable clamshell phone<\/a>. This is a continuation of a patent originally filed in 2011 and updated in 2016 with a drawing of what might be an iPhone with a flexible display<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

What makes this new update particularly interesting is the timing. On Wednesday, Feb. 20, Samsung is expected to show off more of its folding Galaxy X phone<\/a><\/span>\u00a0when it announces its new Galaxy S10.<\/p>\n

The new drawings show a phone that folds up in half. It’s a similar approach Motorola has in a patent for an updated Razr phone<\/a><\/span> to make the phone more pocketable when not in use. Samsung and Xiaomi’s approaches<\/a><\/span> seem more about transforming a phone into a mini-tablet.<\/p>\n
