Apple has made a surprising patent application related to smart glasses, which has reignited rumors of new smart glasses. It is said that Apple aims to replace the iPhone with these glasses. So, what does this new patent application, recently made to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), mean? Here are the details…
Apple secures a folding mechanism patent for smart glasses
Apple’s new patent shows that the frames and arms of the smart glasses will be equipped with a foldable mechanism. The new Apple smart glasses patent application is titled “Dual-Axis Hinge Mechanism.” This mechanism allows the arms of the smart glasses to fold, open, and neatly house the electronic components within the frame.
Apple Glass plans to provide access to many of the applications and features offered by the iPhone. So, when you put on your glasses, it’s like carrying an iPhone in your pocket, but much lighter and more practical. It is said that Apple aims to replace the iPhone with these new patent-secured smart glasses. It’s hard to believe, of course, but it’s equally intriguing.
Apple has patented self-repairing foldable display
We all remember Google Glass, which was launched with great excitement in 2013 and then became a topic of controversy. Google Glass users faced issues such as secretly recording videos and violating others’ privacy. These users were even given unflattering nicknames like “Glassholes.” Apple may want to be more cautious to avoid such negativity with its smart glasses.
It is clear that Apple Glass has great potential as an innovation that could replace the iPhone in the future. However, this technology needs more development and testing to become widespread and accepted by users. Could Apple glasses, which are making headlines with patent applications like this, become an integral part of our daily lives in the future? Maybe, instead of picking up our phones in the morning, we will just put on our glasses. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
