What happens if Apple phones came after the iPhone 13 can tell you when your screen has been damaged or cracked?
A newly published Apple patent reveals that the company has explored advanced screens that can detect damage to the screen through a “voltage detection resistance” that gathers the voltage measurements. Presumably, this would allow the phone to find cracks that are too small to notice and alert the users of the damage before it worsens and potentially harms or the internal delcate of the phone.
The patent not only covers static screens, but also includes “flexible screens”, which can include an Apple’s folding phone as the rumored iPhone Flip, as Appleinsider said. It is still not clear what type of screen Apple would be used in its own folding, but given previous devices in the niche as the original Samsung Galaxy double has had more screens prone to scratch than phones with glass screens, screening on screen it could be useful. We know that Apple is concerned: a previous patent conceptualized a layer of prevention of cracks for folding telephone screens.
While future flat and folding iPhones can be more suitable for the technology of the crack detection screen due to the frequency with which users damage the telephone screens, the patent does not limit its technology to phones. In fact, it openly lists the different categories of products that such screen technology may contain, such as computers and wristwatch devices.
In other words, we could see everything from MacBook Pros up to iMac to Apple watches to iPad pack screens that automatically detect cracks, which would be universally useful. There is no reason for Apple to not include it.
However, it presupposes a lot about detection technology, we have no idea if it would be so feasible to implement on a 27-inch large iMac screen, as it would in the latest iPhones, which is maximum on a 6.7-inch screen. It would make sense to deploy it first on Apple phones and then blister it to its wider lineup.
Finally, it would only be great for Apple to one of the rivals in the screen scope, given how it is usually left behind in mobile screen technology, only only we only obtained OLED screens in the range of iphone 12 last year, which is years After Samsung and others android phonemes added them to their premium phones.
We would not expect Apple to deploy crack detection at any time, especially since this is the first one we are listening about it. Currently, the company is slowly upgrading the screens of your devices to mini-LED, as in the iPad Pro 2021 of 12.9 inches (and, the rumor has it, the MacBook Pro 2021 laptops), so the crack detection could To be the technology of the screen that comes after the next essential progress in the Apple alignment.
