A revolution in the smartphone market: Apple is preparing an iPhone with a “self-healing” screen
Apple is developing a new iPhone with a screen that can repair itself after damage. “Apple plans to make iPhones not only more resistant to damage to the display, but also to give the devices the ability to eliminate defects. The description of the relevant patent states that the screen of the folding iPhone will consist of three main parts: two rigid layers and a flexible section that connects them. Apple engineers clarified that the display will be able to repair itself after damage. The patent also claims that the new technology will work autonomously, but if necessary, the process can be “initiated or accelerated by external influences.” This could mean applying heat, light, or an electric current to activate the recovery process. Experts also believe that Apple is in no hurry to release the folding iPhone because it wants to “surprise the world” in the innovation market. The folding iPhone is expected to make its debut no earlier than 2026. The first “apple clamshell” is likely to be a 20-inch MacBook, which will function as a regular laptop when folded and as a monoblock when unfolded with accessories connected.
