Apple Files a Major Update to their Foldable Device Patent and a minor update to a Bio-Authentication System Patent for Apple Watch
On Thursday the US Patent & Trademark Office published a major continuation patent from Apple relating to possible future folding devices. Apple is either adding 20 new claims or rewriting their original patents claims for this invention. Apple doesn t proclaim which of the two it is.
Patently Apple has been closely monitoring this particular invention. We ve posted several granted patents reports on this (01, 02 and 03) and posted our original patent report on this in August 2018 titled Apple invents both Single and Multi-Fold Device Form Factors for Future iDevices.
