下一代iPhone可能没有物理部ttons.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Rumor has it that a future iPhone (iPhone 13?) might lack physical buttons. A recentUS patent applicationspotted byApple Insidersuggests the company is investigating "capacitive sensing input devices". Apparently these input devices, aka buttons, will be "invisible backlit holes" that appear when touched and disappear when not in use.
This approach sounds pretty slick and will no doubt add a bit of elegance if applied to any device. The big question is whether a feature like this will find its way into the next iteration of the iPhone, or if we have to wait until 2022 or beyond in order to see Apple integrate it. It's not an entirely wild concept and fits with other possible changes Apple may make tofuture iPhones.
