Registration of patents indicates that the next iPhone may come with airbag

Tipping and not have to worry about any damage that the iPhone may have suffered. This is the new goal of Apple for the next smartphone models. In a document presented by Patently Apple, the solution will come from a system able to inflate, as with cars the airbag to protect the glass and the internal system of the product.

Apple believes that the installation of a substance capable of inflating in a space between the display and the housing of the device could reduce considerably the impact on the equipment, accidentally. So when the device identifying a fall, he would start the process of inflating the substance, ensuring the safety of the outside and inside the iPhone.

The original idea came when Apple engineers sought a way to get the glass used in the iPhone less susceptible to cracking. Not yet decided which product will be used for this type of protection is possible, but the company believes in using the same technology in the company's other devices, like iPod Touch, iMac, iPad, MacBook, and televisions.

Moreover, according to documents submitted, it is also apparent that Apple was seeking solutions to increase the chemical resistance of glass used in their devices, along with the possibility of making the iPhone water resistant. But, as always, when it comes to Apple have to wait until the official release to get confirmation.
