Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves
Apple is considering ways to empower the iPhone
with active protections after being stolen, according to a new patent
application.
What if your iPhone could help actively protect itself, even after it's been stolen?
That potential idea was considered in a new patent application Apple filed Thursday with the US Patent & Trademark Office.
According to the application, which AppleInsider wrote
about, a future iPhone may -- when triggered by the right circumstances
-- start documenting an alleged thief's fingerprints through the Touch
ID home button, picture and videos from the cameras and even voice from
the microphone.
Such capabilities, while perhaps legally
questionable, could go much further than Apple's current lock screen and
Find My iPhone app.
An Apple representative didn't respond to a request for comment.
