Apple is applying for a patent for a new folding phone

For the first time, Samsung has launched a handy mobile phone that can be replaced with a tablet-type phone, a technology that looks like the future of the next smartphone. Huawei has announced the launch of a fifth-generation special phone in the coming days. That other big companies like Shawomi have expressed the same thing.

On the other hand, Apple does not want to let Android phone manufacturers produce this type of phone alone, because it has filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for permission to produce a folding device . Apple apparently does not want to offer this exclusive option. On phones, the application contains elements to extend the work of technology to tablets and laptops, and wants to provide new devices through this technology.

It can be said that the submission of the application does not mean its formal adoption, it takes a little time to complete and get the patent, but that means that the company has seriously thought about this issue and could be ready to launch its first phone foldable in 2020 alongside the launch of the first iPhone.
