Touchy buttons and folding screens.
An Apple patent (PDF) awarded on Valentine’s Day hints at future iPhones with touch-sensitive volume sliders and folding screens.
There’s also a “virtual shutter button” that sounds a lot like the solid-state buttons predicted by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo last year.
Whether Apple actually makes a foldable iPhone (we’ve seen patent applications before) or is playing the wait-and-see game is still up in the air, but Kuo had also predicted a foldable iPad for 2024.
