"Leakster Instant Digital says that "Apple will invest heavily in official protective cases in the future". The goal is to transform the cases into "second touch interfaces". What does that mean? The leakster is pretty vague about it. Is it a full-blown second touchscreen like LG and Asus have made in the past? It doesn't sound like it. Will it be a touch pad like the ones we see on iPad keyboard covers? Unclear."
"Apple has an interesting patent titled "Case with input for electronic device". Its description reads: "For example, a case can provide an electromechanical touch sensor to provide the user with an input mechanism that does not require actuation of the button of the electronic device. The electronic device, upon detecting the presence of the case, can disable one or more buttons and perform actions corresponding to the buttons when signals are received from the case.""
Apple will invest heavily in official protective cases in the future. The goal is to transform cases into "second touch interfaces" to add features and make iPhone Pros more Pro. It is unclear whether the cases will provide a full second touchscreen or a simpler touchpad like iPad keyboard covers. iPhones already have Camera Control, a capacitive touch area with multiple functions that is not Pro-exclusive and is not particularly popular. A patent titled "Case with input for electronic device" describes electromechanical touch sensors in cases that can replace button actuation, disable device buttons, and perform corresponding actions.
