Taiwan may be experiencing its worst drought in 56-years, but for one man, this is a blessing. This person was paddleboarding on the famous Sun Moon Lake during March, 2020, when the iPhone 11 Pro Max that he wore around his neck in a waterproof bag accidentally fell into the body of water after slipping. Since the lake has basically dried up, the man, surnamed Chen, was able to retrieve it, and after removing the phone, everything powered up like new.

You may have heard the rumors about Apple’s folding iPhone patent from a while back, and although it’s not confirmed, the company is most likely working on such a device. The flexible OLED display panel will most likely be sourced from Samsung or LG, while the rear triple camera system is complemented by a secondary display to show time or notifications when closed. This also means that the user can see themselves if they want to take a selfie using the rear cameras.
Rumors have been circulating online about Apple working on a folding iPhone, and for that to happen, it would need a flexible display. Scotty Allen of Strange Parts decided to build a proof of concept device showing how it would work using a flexible AMOLED display. It all started with a shipment of two flexible panels from Aliexpress, with one measuring just 0.3 mm thick. Unfortunately, the thinner display was a bit too fragile, while the other one was less flexible.
