Apple has filed for a patent for “Accessory Devices for Security Electronic Devices to Various Structures.” It seems to involve iPhones and iPads.
About the patent filing
The patent filing is directed to accessory devices, and more particularly, to accessory devices that magnetically couple with and support electronic devices, thereby allowing the electronic devices to be mounted to various objects. It involves accessory devices that may be used as an attachment to electronic devices. What’s more, those accessory devices may be used to secure electronic devices to other devices.
Summary of the patent filing
Here’s Apple’s abstract of the patent filing: “An accessory device is designed to hold, by magnetic coupling, an electronic device and adjust one or more arms to support the electronic device on various objects. In one or more implementations, an accessory device includes one or more arms, each of which being capable of relative movement with each other.
“The arms of the accessory device can be moved to conform to the size, shape, and perimeter of various objects, thus allowing the accessory device to mount the electronic device on various objects. Moreover, once mounted on the object, the accessory device can further orient the electronic device such that either the camera(s) on the back of the electronic device faces a user (of the electronic device) or the display of the electronic device faces the user.
