New Version of iPhone on the Cards
The Launch of the iPhone by Apple has revolutionised the ways in which we communicate and share information in our daily life. The latest news about this is that Apple has applied for the patent of a new device which will allow all iPhone users to use it for multiple functions.
As it is the iPhone in its present form can be used like a smart phone and access the internet and also there are certain customised functions which can be performed on this. According to trade circles if the patent applied for by Apple is successful then the range of functions available on the iPhone will become wider.
In this new patent Apple has proposed to combine the use of NFC technology along with the iPhone. This will enable the consumer to control and use other devices like TV, stereos. NFC stands for Near Field Communication a technology which enables one to send information in short distances. This is linked with touch communication.
The utility of such a device is that it can have many applications. For instance the stickers on consumer gods have all the information which can be accessed by touch. In another case this can be used to watch a video on TV as it is being downloaded through the iPhone.
It is not clear that this patent applied by Apple will be granted but this should be an eye opener for all other players in the market. This is because this incident conclusively proves that Apple is continuously trying to acquire the status of the market leader in this field.
