Apple patents many things, some have something to do with what is presented below, others are simply crazy ideas that come out of labs full of engineers. I dare to say that we are facing the second option, and that is that the Cupertino company has once again left a real pearl in the patent office that will accompany the strangest dreams of some users, but those of us who have been in this for a while We know that it will not end up in the Apple Store (or so we hope). And is that Apple has patented a keyboard case for the iPhone with a magnetic system that is as spectacular as it is useless.
Once again this patent has been discovered by the website PatentlyApple, where they are always alert for what the Cupertino company may present in the patent office and each day they leave us more surprised as is the case today. If the transparent cover for forty euros (€ 40) that Apple launched seems little, imagine what a keyboard cover for the iPhone with a magnetic system can cost which would end up tripling the thickness of the device. All this without mentioning how "comfortable" it can be to type on such a keyboard resting on the table.
When you thought that the days of the BlackBerry were finally behind you, you get a new slap of reality. We know (or we think very strongly) that the case refers to the iPhone and not the iPad precisely because the device is displayed vertically and not horizontally, who in their right mind would buy a vertical keyboard case for the iPad? As we can see, it uses a series of magnetic mechanisms capable of making the device levitate, hold it firmly over an area to see the content (vertically, don't forget it) and above all write with a keyboard (Figure 732), what do you think? to you?
