With pressure-sensitive bezels, Apple would possibly get rid of the house button of its iPad, iPhone, and iPod bit devices.
The concept works by triggering commands by slightly or pressure-sensitive outer edges. With the technology, the house button might be canned since points on the entire bezel of devices can correspond to bound commands.
Digital Trends says, “The bezel would enable users to the touch, tap, hold, and squeeze it to interact with the device. as an example, you'll swipe the bezel to regulate volume, or quickly double-tap the iPad to wake it up.”
The other patent filed by the tech juggernaut tackles battery technology and aims to extend battery life while not creating the battery larger.
Entitled “Increasing Energy Density in Rechargeable Lithium Battery Cells”, the technology, if it might be successfully developed, can address requests to create “I” devices’ batteries last longer.
