Apple's new patent exposed: A touch display will be added to the side of the iPhone to upgrade the interactive experience

News on March 14, recently, the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) announced a newly obtained patent from Apple, which introduces a new interaction method for mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. According to the patent description, Apple plans to add a touch display screen to the side of these devices, with a design and functionality similar to Apple’s previous MacBook designs. The Touch Bar launched on Pro is designed to provide a more intuitive and personalized user experience.

It is understood that the side touch display in this patent is not only used to replace traditional physical buttons. In addition to displaying control buttons and user interface elements, it can also display practical information such as device battery level and weather conditions in real time. In addition, the side screen will dynamically adjust the display content and functions based on the user's current usage scenarios and applications, providing users with more convenient operation options.

Take music playback as an example. When the user is using the music application, the touch screen on the side can display the name, lyrics and other information of the currently playing track, and supports direct Volume adjustment and song switching operations. This design not only greatly improves the convenience of music playback, but also allows users to interact with the device more naturally while enjoying music.

Apple's patent illustration shows how control and display elements can be integrated into the curved design, while traditional hardware volume and other buttons are replaced by side touch screens. The practical application of this technology will bring users a new and smarter mobile device experience.
