iPhone fold incoming? Apple’s crack-resistant foldable display patent sparks fresh frenzy

Apple has been granted a patent for a new foldable display which will be crack-resistant by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The display is said to feature multiple layers, including a flexible substrate, a thin-film transistor layer, and a protective layer which aims to prevent cracks formation in the flexible substrate which is the most sensitive part of the display. This technology is expected to be tested on a foldable iPad ahead of possibly introducing it on a foldable iPhone.
