Here Apple makes another patent application for the Apple watch styled digital crown on the iPhone. Apple has finally built up the idea for toying the crown on the iPhone devices. The patent has been filed today by Apple. You never know Apple may begin working on the idea and develop it anytime sooner. Well it is also true that most of the patents filed by Apple do not actually come to existence. Apple likes to play with ideas. They are the first company in the world to introduce the most number of patents in the field of technology.
Apple invests tons of money on their patents. Most of their approved patents were never developed by them. They only work on the prototype and let it be once approved. The latest crown feature in the Apple is an interesting piece of art. It has attached multiple features with the usage of the digital crown in the phone. It will be used for scrolling the webpage, adjusting the volume, locking or unlocking screen with the push button feature and will also help in clicking pictures as well. As per the opinion poll done with users, only 16 percent users agreed on having a thumb wheel for their iPhone. Majority of them find it ugly and don’t need them.
Apple has been harvesting a large pool of their money in the research and development of the product. A good thing is that the company is always inclined towards finding something new for the user however the bad thing is that more than 90 percent of their patents never turned into a product. Apple has always been very enthusiastic towards finding something new for their consumers. Recently Apple launched their iPhone 7 and the company has already started working for forthcoming iPhone 8 for 2017.
