Doesn't have to be 180 degrees, though, as long as there's some room for the screen. But why do you think the angle would make it any more expensive?

If the handheld is able to close like a clampshell, it has to be able to bend 180 degrees. While, it could be made to bend at maybe 160 max, the screen still has to be able to bend that far in order for the handheld to close nicely.

Making a screen bend is new technology. Bending screens isn't unheard of, but super flexible screens that can bend to about 180 degrees are definitely going to be more expensive than a screen that bends a little.

The tip doesn't have to bend full 180, as long as there's some room.
