Apple recently secured a new patent that may make iPhones waterproof and allow users to adjust touch sensitivity so that they are better able to access their phone screens in the rain.
Current iPhone models are water-resistant but it’s still tricky texting with water drops on the screen.
With the new patent on the way, Apple plans to make iPhone screens easy to use during “a moisture exposure event”.
Apple may also allow the iPhone to adjust pressure sensitivity and react to taps on-screen when a certain force is applied, which will eliminate any pressure by water droplets.
