Apple Patent Hints At Foldable iPhone With Self-healing Screen - Lemmy.zip

Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone could finally become a reality if a recently awarded patent is any indication. This patent hints at a revolutionary self-healing screen.

Look guys, Apple is innovating something that already exists again.
I know foldables have been in the market for a few years now, but do any have self healing screens?

They aren’t doing anything new. They just have more money to throw at advertising propaganda.

Well that’s just redundant! I see Samsung holds this patent, I’m just wondering if they have this on any of their fold line of products.

yes, all of them. if what the tech was made for.
Thanks. I’m not exactly shocked to see this kind sensationalism in tech reporting, dumb.
I’ve read through the above Samsung patent and the Apples one. The one main difference I found was that Apple is talking about a heating layer between the other layer in the display that can initiate the selfhealing process. I haven’t see a mention of such thing in the Samsung patent
Do they use the material PDMS? I know that has some self healing properties
I don’t think they mention any material specifically, only „materials with selfhealing properties”. They leave it „open to interpretation” lol
