Launching the satellite connection feature of the iPhone 14 family today, Apple recently faced a serious lawsuit on the grounds that the App Store and some other Apple apps tracked you even if you didn’t allow it.
According to documents that have emerged today, Apple wants to completely eliminate the physical keyboard on Macbooks. We may soon meet completely keyboardless computers.
Both sides can be full screen
According to the patent images and information that emerged, Apple may look just like Dell’s dual-screen laptop Duet. However, according to the patent information that has emerged, the only function of this second screen will be to display the keyboard and touchpad. According to the information in the patent, thanks to this screen, users will be able to choose their preferred keyboard shape. It is also stated in the patent that when the keys on the screen are “tapped”, feedback will not be sent to users with vibration.
In its patent application, Apple states that the physical keyboard is “useless” and that this new digital keyboard will “appeal to everyone” because it is customizable by users. The company, which has been looking for various ways to remove the physical keyboard since 2018 and constantly applying for different patents for “dual-screen Macbooks”, may have finally found the method it was looking for with this application.
The use of the phrase “soft keyboard on the touch screen” instead of the phrase “dual screen” in this application shows that Apple has moved from a more complex design to a simpler and more effective method. According to some Apple analysts, we can see these new “physical keyboardless” Macbooks in the new Macbook Pros, which are expected to be introduced in 2024. In addition, some analysts claim that we can see this feature in Apple’s “Ultra” models that will soon be added to the Macbook family. We will wait and see the result together.
