Folding screens are the bet of the future. While most companies have not been successful with their first attempts at mobile phones with these features, none have given up on this path. And everything indicates that Apple could follow this criterion, not only on your iPhone but also on your future MacBooks.
According to a document registered with the United States Patent Registration Office, future models of MacBook or MacBook Pro may adopt a unibody design with a mechanism of Seamless flexible hinge to allow Apple to build them from a single piece of material.
MacBooks may have a flexible display
According to the information published in Appleinsider, Apple has extended its patent applications for flexible, and even roll-up, displays for iPhone and iPad, to the MacBook Pro. In this way, the current complex hinge mechanism that connects the display to the body of the computer, it would be replaced by a type of hinge that achieves a more flexible device.
According to the registered patent under the number 10. 642. 318, mainly explains how such a design could be applied to a MacBook Pro-style device.
"A personal computing device comprises a one-piece body that has an overall seamless appearance and that includes a flexible portion that is capable of a smooth curved shape."

It is indicated below that the body of a single piece includes a first part suitable for presenting visual content, and a second part will be arranged to accept an input action. To achieve this goal, Apple's solution is to build an "adjustable flex structure" from "a stack of layers that can go from an uncompressed state to a state compressed".
Some parts of the design credited to Alex J. Lehmann and Paul X. Wang, both included in the list of patent inventors that include “Computer systems with finger devices” and “Tactile input device with tactile feedback”, presents some similarities with the systems previously patented with the company for the iPhone and iPad , which could indicate the mastery of a system that would be common on all its screens, with some differences depending on the device, as clearly happens with the MacBook.
Despite the projects presented by other companies with flexible screen mobiles, Apple does not even seem to have a tentative date for the presentation of any product with these characteristics, but everything indicates that at any moment it could surprise us.
