What do you think of Apple's new iPhone concept?
, it's written in that special form of word salad reserved for patent applications, and talks about stuff like 'moisture events' as if that were a perfectly normal thing for a human to say, the goal is clear: an upgrade to the iPhone that'll make it perfectly usable when wet.And the best thing is, Apple's not just talking about being able to use your phone safely and effectively when it's raining, which most of us would gladly settle for.
That's right, if Apple makes good with this patent you'll be able to take your iPhone into the sea in order to film your friend catching some gnarly waves. And to get it right, it's going to take more than a waterproof coating for your iPhone. As we've mentioned, water can really mess up your iPhone's capacitive input, resulting in false or inaccurate taps. So according to this patent, once your iPhone detects a moisture event it'll switch to a wet mode and instead start using force detection. Remember that Force Touch feature nobody used, ever? Apple's finally found an application for it.
Naturally there are no guarantees as to when or if Apple will actually deliver these cool new features; such is the way with patents. But a fully waterproof iPhone's definitely something to get excited about. Don't fancy waiting? Check out today's best iPhone 13 deals below.
