The Cupertino-based company registered a patent for a device with a rollable or scrollable display. Wish we could see this before some unprecedented natural calamity or pandemic hits us. The patent hints that future products such as iPhones, iPad, televisions, desktop displays, and vehicle dashboards might be infected by this innovation.
The US Patent and Trademark Office recently announced the application of Apple that would bring off a secular exploration of expandable displays.

The iPhone maker makes things interesting as it plans to create a quaint to prevent glass layer cracking by configuring the display to roll the outward facing ground receives wide stress.
This would help avoid any damage to the display when it is in storage form. Certainly, this isn’t the first time a company has registered rollable patents. Several companies, like LG, OPPO, and Motorola, have already been persistently venturing into the rollable sector. LG has developed several purchasable rollable TVs and also unveiled plans for a rollable phone.
Xiaomi also registered a patent for smartphones with rollable displays a few months back. The patent registration is not a sign that either one of the companies would cast a rollable smartphone in the forthcoming years. Albeit the rollable screen products are far from now, Apple is allegedly working on a foldable MacBook, which is expected to launch in 2026.
