Apple receives new patent on a hinge for foldable devices

10 December 2024
The patent describes a mechanism with multiple interconnected links and gears to ensure smooth, balanced folding and the right amount of friction.

Sort by:

So many gears and moving parts. If by chance some dirt gets trough all the protection to the hinge that can make some damage to it. It looks nice like something out of transformers movies but dont seem very practical.

    If Apple is patenting it, it sure is a Transformers' movie star in the making...

    Wow Apple so much imita.. sorry.. innovation.

      Even if it is launched, it will just another device to waste your time doomscrolling and getting addicted.

        Bet it will hhave greater crease than Samsung fold or flip.
        They were unable to make own 5G modems, thrown away project titan or Apple EV cars after 10 years and tossing many billions to toilet and flush immediately after with words its impossible.
        Now this.
        They should stick to what they know best.
        Forcing other companies to the court for stealing their technology when its exactly opposite.

          Apple preparing their foldable like it's going to be the first ever foldable smartphone.

            We are all anxious for Apple to invent foldable devices before anyone else does it.
