Apple's new patent exposed: Future MacBooks may use glass touch design

Recently, according to the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple issued a new patent, revealing their new vision for the future MacBook. It is understood that the biggest innovation of this new MacBook is that it will use a large amount of glass material and be equipped with a touch screen, which will bring a new operating experience to users.

According to the patent description, Apple plans to use glass material on both the A and C sides of future MacBooks. This will not only enhance the overall beauty and texture of the device, but also bring an unprecedented touch experience to users. At the same time, the screen part of side B will support touch and force-sensitive functions, allowing users to operate more intuitively and efficiently. The new MacBook may also have a built-in camera to capture still images or video images of the user, a feature that will play an important role in scenarios such as video conferencing.

According to the editor’s understanding, screen #103 in the patent diagram shows the key components of the touch sensing system, which can accurately detect and respond to user touch input. In some configurations, the display may feature an on-cell touch-sensing system, which means the touch-sensing functionality will be integrated directly into the display, allowing for a more compact and efficient design. In addition, touch-sensing components such as electrode arrays can also provide display and touch-sensing functions simultaneously through time and frequency multiplexing technology, further improving device performance and user experience.

In addition to touch capabilities, the new MacBook's electrodes may be configured to detect a variety of touch and gesture inputs, including multi-touch input and other types along the edges of the device Touch input. This design is expected to bring more flexible and diverse operating methods to users, thereby better meeting the needs of use in different scenarios.

This new patent demonstrates Apple’s unique vision and innovative design for future MacBooks. Using cutting-edge technologies such as glass material and touch screen, the new MacBook is expected to bring users a better and more convenient operating experience. Practical functions such as built-in cameras will also further expand its application scenarios to meet users' needs in video conferencing and other aspects. This design concept has the potential to bring more functionality and practicality to MacBook, while improving user experience and further consolidating Apple's leading position in the computer field.
