When there are a few hours until the Cupertino-based company finally presents the iPhone 7, the company's new terminal, and each and every one of the rumors that have surrounded the launch of this device is confirmed or denied, Apple continues to work in new devices as well as new features that will arrive in future iPhone models. Trademark attorney Brian Conroy has published new evidence of the Latest names the company has registered of its upcoming products. Among all the names that we find in the list, in addition to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the names Iris Engine and AirPods are especially striking.
AirPods officially confirms the rumors that we have published previous months and in which we talked about the possibility that Apple is working on a wireless headphones without wires, similar to those that Samsung presented at the beginning of August together with the Galaxy Note 7 and those of the Bragi firm, a very good looking wireless headphones that we already talked about yesterday.
Iris Image Engine also confirms that Apple is working on an iPhone unlocking system through the use of the iris, just as it already has the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7, a mechanism that offers us extra security to the fingerprint. But they weren't the only Apple-related names that this lawyer has discovered.. In the same document we can find "Apple Smart Button" and "Apple Touch Bar" that could indicate a future home button integrated into an OLED screen as well as a touch panel with customizable functions that would come from the hand of the new MacBook Pro.
Now we just have to wait to see which of these new patents hit the market and when they do, because on many occasions that Apple registers a patent or a name does not mean that they will finally reach the market, but in this way it protects itself from other companies that may be interested in launching this technology without going through the box.
