Apple's new touch patent exposure, the iPhone's frame is a touch screen

On January 2, a patent document showed that in November, Apple obtained a patented technology on touch screen buttons. Specifically, it is to add a screen on the side of the mobile phone to display content and operation, which can display virtual keys, switch buttons, etc., and even display icons of applications. That is to say, the side frame of the mobile phone becomes a screen, which can be operated by the user.

The patented design sketch shows that the modified iPhone has removed the traditional "notch" design, and the front of the fuselage is almost entirely a screen, only retaining the earpiece design at the top. Compared with the screen-to-body ratio of the Samsung S9 series, this body design has a higher screen-to-body ratio.

Apple has taken a different approach and played new tricks on the side screen of the mobile phone. It is still very creative, but whether this patented technology will be put into the iPhone in 2020 is still unknown, but what kind of benefits it will bring to users? A new experience, this question is still worth looking forward to.
