Apple iWatch Curved Flexible Battery Patent

The layers may be wound to create a jelly roll prior to sealing the layers in the flexible pouch.” With regard to placement, the patent states, “In some embodiments, the curve is formed to facilitate efficient use of space inside a portable electronic device.” While such technology would be extremely beneficial to the Apple iWatch, it would also serve to enhance the space efficiency of Apple’s iPhone, iPod and Macbook laptop lines. This is especially true as Apple’s designs continue to implement rounded, tapered edges in pursuit of thinness.

With all of the various component information surfacing, rumors of ramp ups and prototypes at Foxconn, and Tim Cook’s general infatuation with wearable computing technology, the Apple iWatch is surely on its way to the unadorned wrists of sophistication through simplicity aficionados. Now, the only question left is WHEN will we blessed with Apple’s next “ONE MORE THING” …
