“Back on April 10, 2013 Patently Apple was first to discover and report on Apple’s advanced invention for not only flexible displays but also for possible future flexible iPhones and other iDevices. The patent was discovered in Europe,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple. “Today, the US Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent for this invention.”
“Apple’s newly granted patent covers their invention relating to flexible electronic devices and displays,” Purcher reports. “Apple’s patent filing also enlightens us with the fact that bending a future flexible centric iDevice may also allow users to open a specific application, control a game function and so much more.”
“Flexible internal components may include flexible batteries such as batteries having rigid and flexible portions, batteries formed from multiple rigid portions joined in a flexible joint, and batteries formed from flexible battery layers,” Purcher reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Imagine, actual, non-FUD bending!
Phweew, Apple finally got its patent granted for the iPhone 6 plus! 😜
Sucker that’s the funniest line I heard all year! Nice one!
But wait……., the year is only 6 days old!
But….will it still Blend ?!?
hope they don’t lose the patent because they already demonstrated a flexible device 😉 remember the rubber-banding incident?
Just buy the iPhone 6…that bends just nicely. Oh yeah and Obama is the greatest president ever… change is coming.
I thought they already had that patent for the 6+. If they didn’t, they might get sewed by Samsung.
