Foldable iPhone could beat Galaxy Fold 2 with this killer feature - Tom's Guide

New Apple patent hints at a Touch Bar for the foldable iPhone.

An Apple foldable phone patent spotted by 9to5Mac describes a phone that folds on a hinge like a lot of the current available devices do.

But unlike devices where the screen folds in half, this Apple patent describes a phone where the fold is offset to keep some of the main screen exposed when the device is closed.

Apple's patent also suggests that screen could still be interactive even when the phone is shut.

In both cases, there's no part of the interior display that's exposed like the Apple foldable phone patent describes.

In other words, a patent is no guarantee that Apple's foldable phone will look as depicted — or that it will even ship.
