As other leading smartphone makers are perfecting devices with vertically or horizontally folding screens, recently published patent information suggests Cupertino might take a different route. A patent for "electronic devices with rollable displays" filed last October and published on July 13 references a device with a display that could be moved between an unrolled state where it is planar and a rolled state for storage.

Are they gonna make them like those rollable flip-bracelet things like what kids have? So you just wear your phone as your wrist watch when you're not using it, then unroll it when you want to talk on the phone or read your screen? Or will we carry them around like scrolls and parchment and unfurl our phones when we want to do anything? We'll look like magicians, it might actually be kind of sweet.
