iPhone 6 release, features and specs

Apple iPhone 6 release and features

As I’m writing this, it’s barely a month since Apple released its iPhone 5, and yet we’re already looking forward to all the new stuff  Apple will put into the iPhone 6.

A newly released patent, filed in March 2012, shows a truckload of new technologies currently being developed up in Apple’s R&D labs for new iDevices, including tactile keyboard, laser microphone, laserspeaker, and flexible display.

All of these new features will reportedly work in line to give the user a dynamic iPhone 6 experience that aligns with the user’s needs: Flexible displays allow for more comfortable holding and typing, while the highly-advanced tactile screen creates buttons when needed so the user can feel the letters as they type, or touch the topography on an Apple map.

By placing an array of piezoelectric actuators below the display and activating them on demand for tactile feedback… this way you have a perfectly smooth surface when you browse the net or read your email. Call up a keyboard, and actuators pop up and now you can feel the letters as you type.

Tactile display technology, which is useful for using your smart-phone without looking at it, has been something Apple has long been interested in: On May 7, Apple published a patent for advanced haptics using a flexible OLED screen, which would allow users to physically interact with their content by touching it – an experience accomplished with sensors and actuators working simultaneously.

Apple's multi-tiered system is extremely sophisticated: Using several layers of elastic screens stacked on top of each other, Apple's screen can produce 3D buttons or objects to interact with, as well as give texture to images, like topographical maps, but only when they're needed.

Apple's haptic system can respond to as well as create different types of actions, including vibration, net displacement, bending, deforming, or any one combination of those elements. Pretty exciting huh?
