According to a new patent, future iPhones might finally get LED notification light of some sort, which would double as an Apple logo too.
The patent tells a story about a transparent layer on the back of a smartphone with adjustable decoration overlapping by the transparent layer changing the appearance of the light that comes out of the logo. There's also a control circuitry that can adjust the appearance in response to an event like a call or missed notification.
It's interesting to see this feature being revived after it was removed from MacBooks. As some of you remember, the Apple logo was once illuminated on MacBooks. Of course, keep in mind that this is just a patent and there's no guarantee that it would make it to the iPhones.
it does not make sense, they remove that on the macbook and now they are putting it on the iphones?! it's not apple like to put something "gimiky" and drains battery just for looks, apple is everything should be optimal and has a function
Rumours of this existed all the way back to when the iPhone 4 was going to have a glass back.
