Apple patent filing hints at an iPhone with a sliding expandable display — Apple World Today

A foldable iPhone? Meh. How about one with a slicing expanding display? Apple has filed for a patent (number 20200329572) for such a device.

In the patent filing, Apple says displays on portable devices such as iPhones may not have enough screen real estate to display the info a user needs. At the same time, it can be difficult to enlarge the size of electronic devices too much to accommodate larger displays, because this can make devices too bulky. One option, per Apple: a device with a display with a section of screen that can slide out  to show more data.
