In Pictures: 16 most anticipated tech products of 2013

We’re not sure some of them are even on the drawing board, but they’d be great to see

Bendable phones

The technology exists for display screens that bend and 2013 could see the advent of commercial smartphones that highlight the feature. Given their flexibility, these screens could help reduce damage to phones that get dropped, banged or otherwise abused; they’re made to respond to impact by yielding. (Check out the Philips concept phone in the picture.) No phone manufacturers have announced plans to launch such products, but given that the technology exists plus the coolness factor, these devices may debut in 2013.
