Apple is the iconic company in the industry that will continue to set the trends. If Samsung finds increasing industry demand for a futuristic product like flexible displays, it’s hard to imagine Apple doesn’t have something to do with it.
It’s a fantastic idea and a brilliant implantation of currently available tech. With an iPhone 4S screen replacement as high as US$150, flexible OLED screens will go down smoother than a glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
