Button Good-Farewell-the possibility that "iPhone" will be a buttonless application for Apple's patent application-cnet Japan

According to Apple's patent application forms, "iPhone 13" may be a buttonless.However, if the button is mounted on the side, the last is "iPhone 12", how do you operate the iPhone?

Apple Insider discovered Apple's US Patent Application Forms suggests that Apple is looking for a "electrostatic -capacity sensing input device."The input mechanism called "button" seems to be an "invisible backlight hole".

This looks like a pretty clever approach.If you apply it, you will definitely increase the elegance of any device.The important thing is whether these features will be incorporated into the next iPhone, or if Apple will have to wait until 2022 or later.This is not an outrageous idea, but a change in the possibility that Apple may add to the iPhone 13.

For example, there was a rumor that the iPhone 13 would reset the fingerprint leader.In this case, a new scanner may be placed inside the screen instead of a conventional fingerprint leader.If Apple adopts this direction, there is no doubt that it will fit the buttonless minimalist -style design.

Apple has already removed the earphone jack in the 2016 iPhone 7.The rumors say that the connection port of the "Lightning" terminal is gone.When the Lightning port is gone and betting on wireless charging, the iPhone 13 is Apple's first completely portress smartphone.I wonder if it can be a buttonless.

Of course, this patent application form may be associated with products that are completely different from the iPhone.After all, many of the information about Apple's next smartphone is guessed, and even the product name iPhone 13 is uncertain.However, there is one obvious thing.All of these mysteries will be resolved in the next iPhone announcement event, which is likely to be held in September.
