Apple created the smartphone. Samsung created the PHABLET. Two developments that have significantly impacted the way we consume information. But the next revolution begins to point the tip of his nose and it certainly will affect our screens. The flat slabs dominate the market since its inception, but are gradually being questioned. A curved screen or folding would it not more pleasant to use? And if the Galaxy S7 offered us a flexible screen? Many of us dare to imagine. But many assumptions on the see this new land at the end of the year worth a small shed in the background.
Several facts fueling speculation machine. First, patents filed by Apple that an iPhone could affect 7 to flexible screen potential. The Cupertino company has proved that it worked well on a new curved screen technology and even foldable. More concretely, some manufacturers have already spent a few steps. LG launched its LG Flex 2, a device it is possible to twist (in moderation). What wonder if the market leaders will not end up yielding. But patent filing does not always mean execution in practice. Brands often take the opportunity to legally protect themselves against competitors who have the bad idea to have a little too lifelike projects. But even if the technology is actually developed, the commercial implementation can take a long time.
>Several months or years usually separate a patent making available to the public. Especially Apple (and to a lesser extent Samsung) is not the type to want to carry out field tests. If competitors with larger and more diverse ranges can afford some failures, it is nothing to forgive the apple. But stress is not just technical. The end customer does not like being pushed around and products must evolve slowly. Before proposing a completely foldable screen, giants will have an incentive to launch flexible and easy to handle products. The chances of landing an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy 7 S7 foldable screen are very thin. The Korean has already made a winning bet with his Galaxy Edge S6. Nothing says that Apple agrees to follow him in this way.
