Nanjing Hua News: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office today officially announced that Apple has obtained 59 new patents. In this list, a patent with patent number 9430077 may attract some people's attention. We all know that almost all cars are equipped with airbags. When a car accident occurs, these airbags will pop out. This is a life-saving invention. In the past nine years, the design and function of the iPhone have made great progress, but its fragile screen has always been criticized by many consumers. So, does the iPhone need an airbag to "save your life?

Nanjing Hua Xun US patent experts said that in fact, it is to configure a tool similar to a car airbag for our iPhone. The iPhone's built-in accelerometer will then recognize whether our phone is falling, thus instantly opening an airbag to protect the iPhone from damage. Of course, this patent has been applied for as early as 2011, but judging from the current situation, there are still many difficulties that need to be broken through to apply this patent to the iPhone.

In 2014, Americans spent $23.5 billion on smartphones with broken screens, and a large part of this was "contributed" by iPhone users. If our iPhone can really pop up an airbag when it falls, I believe many consumers will applaud. Even without airbags, everyone hopes that the iPhone, especially its screen, will be stronger.
