No it doesn’t. Apple files vague patents all the time

I don’t want a damn Swiss roll as a phone, so no thanks.

But as an iPhone that expands to an iPad? I'd like to see something like that.

Motorola showed off a similar concept last year: https://www.phonearena.com/lg-rollable-phone-release-date-price-features-news
