Apple is known for their filed patents. Apple is the only sole company in the market which has filed the highest number of patents till date. It seems they enjoy scrapping ideas and building their prototypes. It should not be shocking to find that most of the Apple patents have never been developed by them. IN one of their latest developments, Apple has been geared towards working on a pencil. This pencil will be working with the Mac trac kpads. The patent was first filed by Apple back in 2014 however it was published first in May 2016.
The model which was first mentioned in the patent was much more sophisticated than the current model of the filed patent. It had the ability to additionally work as a joystick as well as an air mouse. There is one thing in common with all the patents filed by the Apple till date and that is non-assurance. There is no guaranty that they will be ever be able to launch this device in market or will ever work on producing them officially. These are probably management decisions of the company that what all parents should Apple be concentrating upon. It is a good spirit effort of the Apple that they still like to continue developing such items. The most of the patents filed by the company till date has been pushed for future. The company likes to reserve the ideas for themselves after working upon building the idea. There are still a lot of improvements pending in their patents which will be only brought in action once they decide upon the regular production of the items.
Each year Apple has concentrated them upon spending a major portion of their money on the research and developments of new technology in the market. This is probably one of the reasons why Apple has always been able to bring something new each year within their products.
