Smart bezel for Apple devices

Apple has patented the "smart bezel bezel", designed to complement the new input capabilities for the touch screen.

The bezel ring on smartphones and tablets, with only metal or plastic edges around the edge of the screen, does not allow for touch-sensitive displays like the rest of the screen.

This is the limit that Apple is trying to overcome.

The pfhub.com website states that the 'Touch Input Protection and Sensory Transactions ' patent has been approved by the US Office of Registered Names and Trademarks.

As planned, the apple house wants to add four sensors to future touch screen devices such as the iPhone and iPad, with each sensor in each corner of the bezel.

Except for corners, other parts of the bezel ring remain unchanged, allowing users to use the mobile device comfortably.

Angle sensors can also contain force sensors, which are enough to detect the start and direction of movement of a touch action, providing a new way of controlling the device.
