Apple is exploring the use of flexible displays to make convex devices, according to a new Apple patent filing published today.

The two remaining exposed edges would allow access to the inner housing. The filing explains that the main advantage of a convex device would be maximizing the internal volume, making more space available for the battery, for example. Crucially, a convex de
