A brand-new patent, evaluated by Company Insider suggests that the business is certainly checking out the possibility of a collapsible iPhone, and is likewise trying to find methods to safeguard the collapsible’s screen from damage if it is dropped.
The patent application is entitled “Self-retracting screen gadget and strategies for safeguarding screen utilizing drop detection,” and it reveals a gadget that consists of a fall detector or accelerometer that activates a release system to immediately withdraw the collapsible screen when the gadget is dropped. The patent does consist of a constraint for the innovation, stating that the collapsible’s screen may not completely withdraw when it is dropped near to the ground/from a low elevation.
