The most unusual patents from Apple

Apple is currently one of the most famous companies and continues to actively develop. This is a technology company that really knows how to surprise the consumer. And it’s worth talking about the most unusual patents.

MacBook and iPad combination

Previously, Jobs himself said that the details would never happen. But today the company has a patent, where there is a MacBook with a touch screen, that is, something similar to a tablet. But here the screen is a separate element that is attached to the body using magnets.

3D interface for smartphone

Special proximity sensors, cameras and an accelerometer contribute to the specific arrangement of graphic elements, which in turn creates the effect of depth.

In addition, there are air gestures, that is, there is no need to press the screen. So far, this technology is not used.

Unusual gloves

Here the user gets the opportunity to comfortably use the smartphone in sub-zero weather. There are special holes at the fingertips, tightly tightened with rubber bands.

With a slight pull, your finger will be exposed, allowing you to easily use your smartphone.

Pizza box

The peculiarity of the box is that there are special holes, which eliminates the accumulation of moisture.

iPhone screen with solar battery

More than 10 years ago, an idea appeared where photosensitive elements were combined with a touch surface. It could be used not only on a smartphone, but also on a player. And if the device is lying in the sun, then there will be no problems with operation. But in this case the device gets very hot, so this option is not considered.

Glass staircase

It was a surprise to see interior items among the patents. In one of the company’s stores there is an unusual staircase made of glass.

iPhone-based MacBook

Here, instead of the usual trackpad, an iPhone is installed. The rest is all used as a docking station.

Keyboard that repels crumbs

I want to see this in person, because there is a patent for a keyboard that prevents a variety of objects from getting inside.

This can be achieved either by sealing all mechanisms or by adding a special membrane that squeezes out air whenever pressed.

Self-tightening watch band

It is an electronic accessory and automatically locks onto your arm. And the peculiarity is that you can adjust the tension force yourself.
