Patents Hint At Future iPhone Features
Ars Technica has come across some patents recently filed by Apple that show interesting new improvements that may make their way to future versions of the iPhone. One patent suggests that users will be able to transfer files to other users while still connected to a phone call. Through this new process, one would be able to send numerous types of data, including videos, texts and contact info all without interrupting the call.
Additional iPhone patents mention other enhancements such as a feature that would automatically enabled the speakerphone function based on the phones position, and another that would allow for backward-compatibility with device connectors. There's even a patent that describes a potential shock sensor that may be used to help minimize damage caused to the phone in case it's dropped.
