From patents for 'smart rings' to ones for projecting a Mac's desktop out onto the wall, Apple has been hiding Apple Vision Pro in plain sight for years.

Apple is continuing to refine its work on light sensors that could work through a display, likely for use in a future version of Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone. Credit: AppleInsider Current iPhone models, like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series, house their Face ID system and sensor suite in a notch at the top of the display. Apple, however, is working on a system that could ultimately allow it to minimize or nix the notch entirely. In a patent application published March 4 and titled "Sensing System for Detection of Light Incident to a Light Emitting Layer of an Ele...

Future Touch ID sensors may be embedded within the display It's the tradeoff that Apple has been making for years -- how to give us better signal reception, and secure user authentication, while also reducing bezels and notches. Now Apple may have found ways to get edge-to-edge displays that include both Touch ID and an antenna inside them. For all of this, though, there hasn't been much discussion about exactly why moving the sensor under the display is complex enough that Apple hasn't done it. A newly revealed patent application details the problems, and proposes solutions that involve buil...

Future Apple devices may make more use of the screen for providing a larger Touch ID under the display, plus improve Wi-Fi and cellular reception through embedding a bigger antenna too.
