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.

Ugh can we just agree that foldy phones are just an altogether dumb idea? I want my phone to have as few moving parts as possible.

I kinda like the idea of a phone that is usually small, but I can make big by unfolding it if I want to. But I do agree that the fewer moving parts, the sturdier and more BIFL. It’s just that BIFL is not really attainable anyways in the current state of the phone market due to software support obsoletion.

I’d like to see a small eink phone or the tiny matchbook from Her.

The fuck is BIFL?
