    I wonder what they’re actually developing since we all know they’re going to get the screen from Samsung.

      “A new and revolutionary way of having a multi dimensional phone, the first ever of it’s kind, it doesn’t fold, it creases at the right points to give you more space than ever.”

        I kind of want to rolling phone. That would get rid of the crease problem. If you put a sensor in the roller you could have the software automatically adapt the screen size to how much of the screen is out.

          Ooh, like it pulls out of a little scroll case, and is stiff once it comes out like a tape measure.

      The hinge and everything else involved in the folding process probably. Like every other foldable.

        These are software developers. So they’re not going to design hardware.

        The hardware designers are probably aren’t going to design the hinge either since that’s a mechanical problem.

          I can’t find anything that says that they are software developers. Just engineers which can mean many things.

          But sure, software developers obviously would have a lot of work to do on iOS for it to support folding phones.
