You May Soon Use the Next iPhone Without Touching it

According to the patent which was filed in March 2015, Apple is desperately looking into the technology which could allow you to use your smartphone without touching it. This technology may use photodiodes in your screen and other proximity sensing hardware to catch hovering gestures.


The sensors inside the display would work in connection with proximity sensors around the device as well as to combine and be able to tell when a finger or palm is hovering over the screen.

The probability with this technology are impressive. It will let you control your screen, offer a new input for gaming purpose and it would likely mean the device can mislay the IR proximity sensor which it uses to detect your head while attending a phone call. 

We frequently swing our finger over the iPhone screen when we read or seeking for Whats App to open next, but it may not be possible possible with this new upcoming technology. 3D touch faced the same problem, after its launch. People weren’t able to utilize this feature when they pressed hard.

As we came to know that this patent was introduced by Apple in March 2015, but you won’t see this technology in the upcoming iPhone 7 which will be rolled out in September this year.

This technology may come with iPhone 7S or iPhone 8.

Apple iPhone sales witnessed a drop in Apple’s Q4 earnings. Later Experts warned that Apple iPhone’s sales will further drop if Apple won’t introduce new technologies in its devices. So, it seems Apple has been familiar in introducing mind blowing technologies in its new devices.
