📰 According to Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple is developing official iPhone cases that don’t just protect the device but act as secondary touch surfaces for future iPhone Pro models.
ℹ️ The cases may include capacitive or pressure-based sensors, allowing taps, swipes, and gestures on the case itself instead of physical buttons. Some versions could even have Touch ID built into the case.
🔎 Apple’s 2024 patent describes how the iPhone would recognize the case and reroute controls to the accessory, effectively making the case part of the input system.
📆 No specific release dates or exact features of the cases have been announced yet.
