"Apple's Foldable iPhone: Self-Protecting Screen Against Drops"
TL;DR Summary
Apple has filed a patent application for a self-retracting display device that can protect the screen of its foldable iPhone from falls. The device will have an accelerometer that will signal an electronically adjustable latching mechanism to quickly snap the phone shut if it detects the iPhone is falling. The foldable iPhone may consist of two separate screens that connect to each other when the device is unfolded instead of having a normal hinge in the middle. The latest leaks point to a 2025 release.
