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.
