Apple’s Vision for All-Glass MacBook with Virtual Keyboard & Trackpad is Still Alive, Latest Patent Shows

Highlights

  • Apple is still working on its ambitious all-screen MacBook.
  • It aims to replace traditional keyboards and trackpads with virtual ones
  • The report is confirmed by a recent patent continuation.
  • Apple plans to use haptic feedback to replicate the feel of real keys.

No matter what your personal opinion about Apple is, whether you are an Apple fan or would prefer to die on the ship with an Android in hand, you cannot deny that Apple has been pioneering in many ways. The Cupertino giant changed the smartphone industry forever when it introduced the iPhone without a physical keyboard.

And for those of you who aren’t aware, Apple has similar goals for its MacBooks as well.

A series of patents for many years have hinted at Apple’s ongoing work toward making an all-screen MacBook. Apple plans on replacing the traditional keyboards and trackpads with virtual ones.

While many tech enthusiasts often have cast doubts on whether this innovation will ever see the light of day, a new patent continuation published recently confirms that this ambitious project is still in development.

From Physical to Virtual Keys

It was back in 2007 when Apple launched the iPhone. At that time, Steve Jobs highlighted the benefits of a virtual keyboard. He explained how virtual buttons can be more customizable and can be changed based on the app in use.

Future updates can be used to add or remove buttons with ease. This small detail about flexibility has remained a core feature of Apple’s iPhones and iPads.

However, we have seen Apple move away from this core Steve Jobs idea. Since then, the brand has often acknowledged the importance of having physical keyboards in some situations.

For example, at times when you have to do extensive typing, it will be difficult to replace physical keyboards with anything.

Apple launched the Magic Keyboard for iPads as it recognised the importance of physical keys.

Apple once even experimented with soft keyboards on the MacBook side through the Touch Bar.

Meanwhile, we have seen physical buttons on Apple’s devices such as the Action Button or the recent Camera Control button on the iPhones.

Haptic Technology to Become A Substitute For Physical Keyboard

It is clear that Apple believes it can replicate the feel of real keys using haptic feedback.

This idea isn’t new. MacBook trackpads already use haptics to simulate a click. The sensation is incredibly realistic.

It appears Apple is hoping to achieve something similar with keyboards as well.

The challenges are definitely greater for keyboards. People rely on the tactile feel of keys while typing.  Moreover, the physical cushioning of keys makes typing more comfortable. Many tech experts have expressed doubts about whether a glass surface can yet replicate that experience.

Apple Patents All-Glass MacBooks

The company has been trying to replicate the comfort and sensation of a physical keyboard in an all-glass MacBook for years.

In 2018, Apple explained its approach to achieve this, “When pressed, the user’s finger may form a depression in the keyboard surface beneath the finger. The pixelated capacitive sense layer may detect the depth and/or location of the depression to determine both an amount and a location of a force.”

“The haptic actuators may induce a physical sensation that is similar to or representative of a mechanical key.”

“The electrostatic charge may cause an actual or perceived change in friction or surface roughness between an object (e.g., the user’s finger) and the input surface by electrostatically attracting the user’s finger to the surface.”

Over the years, Apple has filed multiple patents exploring ways to solve this problem.

The latest patent papers, as per a recent 9to5Mac report, show that the company is still actively working on it. However, the recent papers don’t show any groundbreaking new concepts. So, it looks like we will have to wait for a few years before we see an all-screen MacBook.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple developing for its future MacBooks?

Answer. Apple is developing an all-screen MacBook, aiming to replace traditional keyboards and trackpads with virtual ones, using haptic feedback to replicate the feel of real keys.

Q2. How does Apple plan to replicate the feel of real keys in its all-screen MacBook?

Answer. Apple plans to use haptic feedback technology, similar to that used in MacBook trackpads, to simulate the sensation of real keys. This involves creating a physical sensation through haptic actuators and electrostatic charge.

Q3. When can we expect to see an all-screen MacBook from Apple?

Answer. Despite years of patents and ongoing work, there are no groundbreaking new concepts yet, suggesting it may be a few more years before an all-screen MacBook becomes available.

We recently reported on iFixit’s teardowns of the iPhone 16 and now the repair engineers have completed teardowns of Apple’s latest AirPods 4 and updated AirPods Max. It appears Apple has not moved away from the tried and tested engineering.

The teardowns reveal very few internal changes, especially when it comes to repairability. Here’s everything that iFixit’s latest videos reveal.

Firstly, you can watch iFixit’s full teardown video here –

iFixit Teardown of AirPods 4

iFixit

iFixit’s findings reveal they are quite similar to the AirPods 3 in terms of internal design.

No changes from the previous design also means these new AirPods are just as difficult to repair as they were previously. The new AirPods earned the lowest possible repair score of 0/10.

A major limitation is the inability to easily replace the battery in the AirPods case. This lack of repairability in design makes Apple’s design look outdated when we compare it to other earbuds available today.

iFixit

Other competing brands in the market such as Samsung and Sony have already addressed this of repairability in their products.

The teardown also focused on the AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation. A noticeable difference between this model and previous versions is the addition of “a single outward-facing microphone.”

iFixit Teardown of AirPods Max

The teardown of the new AirPods shows it is still not repairable by end users, while the AirPods Max with USB-C are almost the same as the Lightning version it replaced.

The updated AirPods Max teardown also shows almost no internal changes.

This was almost evident from the launch since the only update in the new model is the switch from Apple’s Lightning port to a USB-C charging port.  

iFixit Shares AirPods 4 and USB-C AirPods Max Teardown Video

Other than that, AirPods Max is pretty much the same device. It still lacks Apple’s latest AirPods features. Fans have already expressed disappointment over this lack of innovation.

iFixit teardown video concludes:

“So here we are again, another year and another AirPod teardown that totally disappoints on the repairability front. And it’s a shame too, because Apple has made a functionally amazing piece of hardware that brings some real quality-of-life improvements, but at the expense of creating a device that’s totally disposable.

The AirPods Max, however, remains unchanged from the 2020 release model. We still don’t have parts or manuals for these $500 headphones, and the entry process into the cups is awkward at best.

With this in mind, the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC receive a provisional score of 0 out of 10 on our repairability scale. And the AirPods Max USB-C version score remains unchanged at a provisional 6 out of 10.”

What we can conclude from the teardowns is that Apple’s new AirPods have seen minimal updates and remain difficult to repair.

FAQs

Q1. What changes in the AirPods 4 compared to the AirPods 3?

Answer. iFixit found that the AirPods 4 are quite similar to the AirPods 3 in terms of internal design. The main difference is the addition of a single outward-facing microphone. Unfortunately, they remain difficult to repair, with a repairability score of 0/10.

Q2. Did iFixit highlight any drawbacks in the new AirPods 4?

Answer. The major drawback is the inability to easily replace the battery in the AirPods case, making them less user-friendly compared to competing brands like Samsung and Sony, which have addressed this issue in their products.

Q3. What updates were found in the teardown of the updated AirPods Max?

Answer. The teardown revealed almost no internal changes to the AirPods Max, except for the switch from Apple’s Lightning port to a USB-C charging port. The AirPods Max still lacks Apple’s latest features, which may disappoint some fans.

That Apple is planning to release an updated iPhone SE early next is old news for anyone who stays even remotely in sync with what goes on in the tech community. The latest update suggests that the iPhone SE launch will be alongside a refreshed iPad Air and new Apple accessories.

The report comes from Bloomberg’s trusted Apple reporter Mark Gurman, who is known for breaking key Apple news from time to time.

As per Gurman, the upcoming iPhone SE will feature a major redesign. It will reportedly move away from the old forehead and chin bezels to adopt an all-screen look with Face ID unlock. If true, which most likely it will be, this will bring the SE in line with modern iPhone designs.

The new model will be based on the iPhone 14’s industrial design.

However, instead of the Dynamic Island cutout seen in recent iPhones, the SE will retain the older notch for housing the camera and Face ID sensors.

iPhone SE Key Specs (Rumoured)

The upcoming iPhone SE will be powered by Apple’s A18 chip and support the latest Apple Intelligence features.

This update will also mark the end of the iOS home button across Apple’s entire product lineup. It is expected to get an OLED display for the first time.

The report also suggests that it will still feature just one rear camera, unlike its higher-end counterparts.

The current iPhone SE starts at $429. As of now, it’s unclear if the 2025 model will maintain this price. However, we can expect a slight increase in price due to its upgraded design.

Upcoming iPad Air – Key Details (Rumoured)

The iPad Air is also due for an early 2025 refresh.

The report suggests the external design will remain the same and Apple will most likely focus on internal improvements.

Gurman didn’t specify which chip will power the new iPad Air. However, it is expected to come in 11-inch and 13-inch models. It was previously reported that both models have been codenamed J607 and J637, respectively.

Lastly, Apple is also planning to upgrade its keyboard accessories. We will most likely get an upgraded iPad Pro Magic Keyboard with a function row and a larger/more functional trackpad.

Meanwhile, an October event is expected to unveil new M4-powered Macs. The same event might also introduce updates to the MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini.

FAQs

Q1. What major redesign is expected for the upcoming iPhone SE?

Answer. The new iPhone SE will feature an all-screen look with Face ID unlock, adopting a design similar to modern iPhones and ditching the old forehead and chin bezels.

Q2. What internal improvements are expected in the upcoming iPad Air refresh?

Answer. The refreshed iPad Air will focus on internal improvements and come in 11-inch and 13-inch models, but the external design is expected to remain the same.

Q3. What new products might Apple unveil at the October event?

Answer. Apple is expected to introduce new M4-powered Macs and upgraded keyboard accessories, including a new iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, at the October event.

Rumour: iPhone 17 Pro May Combine Action and Volume Buttons

Highlights

  • Rumours suggest Apple might merge the Action button and Volume Keys into a single button.
  • Apple is expected to experiment with customizable button placement
  • Could introduce these changes in the upcoming iPhone 17 series.

iPhone 16 series was launched with the new Camera Control Button as one of the main highlights. It gives quick access to the camera and camera settings. The button basically turns your iPhone into a handheld camera.

The Camera Control button follows the Action button, which debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro models last year. After the introduction of the Camera and Action button, all iPhone 16 models come equipped with both the Camera Control and Action buttons.

Many experts have already pointed out that the entire button system of iPhones will evolve eventually. It has been also speculated that how iPhone buttons look and work may also change in future. Now, recent rumours in the tech community are hinting that things will change as soon as the next iPhone.

The recent rumours suggest Apple is in the process of replacing the Action button and Volume Keys with a single button.

This might sound unusual at first to some of our readers. However, it aligns with previous reports about Apple experimenting with new button designs.

The recent rumour comes from a trusted leaker Majin Bu on X (previously Twitter), known for rightfully breaking many updates in the past. He had accurately predicted the display sizes for the Apple Watch Series 10 just before its release.

We know from previous reports that Apple is already working on the iPhone 17 series, which will include a slim iPhone 17 Air model.

If the recent rumours hold any air of truth, this new button design could be part of their plans as well.

It was also hinted that the unified button would function like the Camera Control button. It might include a sapphire crystal for touch detection and a force sensor to differentiate between taps or swipes. Users could mute the phone, adjust the volume, or trigger other actions, all with a single button.

Earlier reports suggested Apple considered merging the Volume and Action buttons during the iPhone 16’s development, under internal projects codenamed “Project Atlas” and “Project Bongo.”

While that plan clearly didn’t see the light of day, there is a slight chance that the Cupertino giant could even resurface that plan with the iPhone 17 Pro.

There’s even speculation that users might be able to customize button placement. The Camera Control and the rumoured Action-Volume button could be interchangeable. If true, this would help left-handed users and they would be able to position the buttons more conveniently.

The current rumours suggest some significant iPhone 17 Pro button design is on the cards. It will be interesting to see how things end up eventually. We can expect more leaks in the coming months.

FAQs

Q1. What new button features are introduced in the iPhone 16 series?

Answer. The iPhone 16 series features a new Camera Control button for quick access to camera functions, in addition to the existing Action button from the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Q2. What rumours are circulating about the button design in future iPhone models?

Answer. Rumours suggest that future iPhones might feature a single multifunction button replacing the Action button and Volume Keys, with possible customizable placement to aid left-handed users.

Highlights

  • Snapchat is introducing a new movement tracker feature called “Footsteps” for iOS users.
  • Will track travels and movement through Snap Map.
  • The feature uses data from saved Snaps to track movements.
  • The feature will roll out to Android users soon.

Gadgets counting your footsteps isn’t something new. We have had devices and apps that can do that for a long time now. However, it appears one of the popular social media platforms may soon be able to help you track your movement. Yes, one of your favourite social media apps, Snapchat is reportedly getting a movement tracker feature. Here’s what we know.

According to a recent TechCrunch report, Snapchat is rolling out a new feature called “Footsteps” for all iOS device users this week. The instant messaging app has confirmed the update to TechCrunch.

But if you think this is a brand-new feature, you are mistaken.

Footsteps was previously available only to Snapchat+ subscribers. This feature uses Snap Map to allow users to track how much of the world they’ve explored.

The feature pulls data from your saved Snaps in Memories when used for the first. It allows your past trips to count. However, after the first time, the app uses location data to track movements.

This feature only works when the Ghost Mode is off. Ghost Mode is a setting that lets you hide your location from friends.

This feature strengthens Snapchat’s Snap Map product. It also sets Snapchat apart from its many competitor social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Other social media apps currently don’t offer a similar function. This might change soon as Instagram is reportedly developing a “Friends Map” feature.

With Footsteps, Snap Map will show you how many countries you’ve visited and how much area you’ve travelled. For example, the app might will reportedly display something like you’ve explored 30.4% of your city or 5% of Paris.

What’s interesting to note is how these updates are entirely based on where the user has taken and saved the Snaps. This means the accuracy depends on how regularly the app is used and the content is saved on the app.

As per the TechCrunch report, the Footsteps data will remain private and visible only to the users.

Users would also be able to turn the footsteps feature off. To do this, you can go to the Profile, tap on  Settings, and scroll down to the “Account Actions” section under “Map.” You can then toggle off the option to save new Footsteps or also clear your existing Footsteps history in the process.

As per reports, Snapchat approaching the new Footsteps feature as a fun way to track travels and also share your adventures with friends using a custom sticker.

The feature is similar to Google Maps’ “Timeline.” However, it focuses more on Snap Memories instead of full location history.

Snapchat plans to roll out the feature to Android users soon.

FAQs

Q1. What is the new “Footsteps” feature on Snapchat?

Answer. The “Footsteps” feature on Snapchat tracks users’ movements and shows how much of the world they’ve explored using Snap Map.

Q2. How does the Footsteps feature ensure user privacy?

Answer. Footsteps data remains private and is only visible to the user. Users can also turn off the feature by going to their Profile, tapping on Settings, scrolling down to “Account Actions” under “Map,” and toggling off the option to save new Footsteps or clearing their existing Footsteps history.

Q3. What are the benefits of the Footsteps feature on Snapchat?

Answer. The Footsteps feature allows users to track their travels, see how many countries they’ve visited, and share their adventures with friends using custom stickers. It enhances the Snap Map experience and sets Snapchat apart from other social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Rumour mill seems to be buzzing with brewing Google Pixel 9a updates off late. While the recent leaked renders have already given a glimpse and hinted at a major design change, we now have more concrete details about dimensions and possible colour variants.

According to a recent report published on Android Headlines, the Pixel 9a will see a slight size adjustment compared to its predecessor the Pixel 8a. Just to remind, we already know that Pixel 9a is moving away from the iconic camera bar.

As per the recent update, the upcoming Pixel smartphone will be a bit taller, wider, and thinner. The leaked dimensions suggest we are getting a smartphone measuring 154 x 73 x 8.6 mm. Compared to this, Pixel 8a was 152.1 x 72.7 x 8.9 mm.

It is important to note that slight changes in dimensions most likely won’t impact screen size much. However, online speculators believe it could have an effect on battery capacity. This is mainly because the thinner body might reduce space for a bigger-size battery. However, another theory suggests the increased height and width could help always provide more space for the battery if the brand wants it.

The Android Headline report also reveals the four colour options that we might get for the Pixel 9a.

Apart from the standard “Obsidian” (black) and “Porcelain” (white) colour options, Google is reportedly introducing two new shades. These are a pink colour option similar to the Pixel 9 named “Peony” and a bluish-purple hue named “Iris”.

This is particularly notable since Google hasn’t released a purple phone since the Pixel 3a in 2019. Pixel 3a featured a light “Purple-ish” colour.

As of now more details about the upcoming Pixel phone are awaited.

The Pixel 9a is expected to launch in 2025 along with the five new smartphones from Google planned for release.

The only new entry to the September list is the recently launched Redmi Note 14 Pro+. It has occupied the tenth place in the list.

It is interesting to note that the older Redmi smartphones such as the Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Note 12T Pro still perform better than the new Note 14 Pro+ on the AnTuTu benchmark.

This is mainly due to the more powerful processors used in older devices. Note 12 Turbo and Note 12T Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and Dimensity 8200 respectively.

Certain reports have suggested that the rumoured Redmi Turbo 4 can prove to be a serious contender for the top spot. It is speculated to feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor.

The claim that Turbo 4 could climb the rankings has been made on the assumption that it remains affordably priced to fit the flagship killer category.

Infinix Smart 9 marketing material promises long-term performance. However, a note clarified that the fluency claim is not the same as the “absolutely no lag” claim. This makes us wonder whether a claim is only a marketing gimmick rather than a breakthrough.

Other features include a 5,000mAh battery, IP54 rating for dust and water resistance and drop protection.

Infinix Smart 9 also comes with stereo speakers for better sound quality.

The phone runs on Android 14 Go Edition and with Infinix’s XOS 14 skin on top. The software optimises the devices with lighter specs.
