Apple has filed a patent that makes it easier to use the iPhone’s screen when it’s raining

Apple He has recently registered a patent in the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” that “Improving electronic device performance when exposed to wet events” and apparently helps users to use their phone’s screen more easily in conditions such as under the rain.

It should be noted that most current flagship and even non-flagship smartphones show resistance to water or moisture to various levels, but being waterproof in itself does not make typing on a wet screen or with wet fingers easy.

In this regard, Apple apparently intends to optimize the iPhone screen for easy use in the rain, heavy rain or even underwater. Apparently, this patented technology is able to identify and eliminate false pressures caused by the presence of liquids on the screen.

Based on the mentioned plan, the use of this technology can also cause changes in the user interface. In such a way that the control options on the screen can be slightly further apart from each other in addition to increasing the size, so that the accuracy of pressing them when the screen is wet increases.

Possible information from Apple’s new patent

it is necessary to mention The said technology In addition to making minor changes to the user interface, it also causes the iPhone display to automatically enter the “Pressure sensitive displaybe similar to the technologies Force Touch And 3D Touch will be.

Of course, it is known that the application of this technology depends on the intensity of humidity or the amount of precipitation may rely on applying more pressure on the surface of the screen, in other words, the more wet the screen is, the user should probably apply relatively more pressure to the screen to avoid typing mistakes. enter

Also, in the image included for this patent (above), we see the iPhone camera app, which has 3 shooting modes dry, wet And Underwater Is. Next, depending on the selected mode, changes will be made in the user interface of the camera. For example, in wet mode, some items are removed from the user interface, but in underwater mode, some controls are replaced with much larger keys than normal to make them easier to use.

Another interesting point in this mentioned underwater mode is the display depth of water so that the user does not exceed the limit of the device’s resistance to water. However, in the end, it should be noted that this company has registered countless technologies since its establishment, all of which have not come to reality, so we cannot be sure about the use of the latest patent.
