Looks like Apple is still actively working on bringing Apple Watch's Digital Crown to iPhone and iPad devices. Here are the details.
Apple has been granted a new patent titled Augmented Reality Maps, which details an immersive navigation feature powered by augmented reality.
Apple has been awarded a patent on fingerprint technology that could potentially make it into iPhone 8 attempting to do away with a dedicated Home / Touch ID button.
According to a new patent application filed by Apple, the company has been working on a wearable electrocardiographic (ECG) device that could be made into a watch or ring, or indeed other kinds of small, delicate jewelry.
It probably won't come as surprise to the majority of Apple consumers, but it looks as though the Cupertino-based company is investigating the potential of extending the iOS Night Shift feature to additional platforms.
Two new Apple patents have today been made public that show a new stylus with touch sensors that allow it to tell how it is being held as well as hand-detection circuitry that could allow an iPhone to automatically move around its UI elements to cater for left- or right-handed use.
Apple has today been granted a new patent for an Apple Smart Cover, and although such a thing does already exist, this one certainly features one or two things that you won't find in any current product. The patent, which we covered back in 2012 when Apple originally filed for it, goes on to explain that the Smart Cover in question would feature not just an additional touchscreen, but also WACOM-like stylus-drawing capabilities, among other things.
Apple has been granted a new patent application, which details what looks like the next-gen Apple Pencil 2 accessory, but with additional sensors and interchangeable nibs.
Apple has been awarded a new patent for a stackable connector architecture that could allow for more than one device to be connected to a single magnetic interface at the same time.
Apple has been granted 54 new patents by the USPTO, with one of those possibly paving the way for flexible screen technology to make its way into a future iPhone or iPad.
