Future iPhones could be controlled by squeezing them

You may be able to manage your iPhone someday just by giving it a little squeeze.
A patent granted to Apple today by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office details a housing for a mobile device that responds to the pressure of your touch or squeeze. Known as "Sensing capacitance changes of a housing of an electronic device," the patent uses a mobile phone as one example. But could just as easily work with portable music players, laptops, and other electronic devices.
Today's touch-screen devices already react to the tap of a finger. But Apple's invention would take that further by reacting differently based on how much pressure you apply when you touch, squeeze, or otherwise deform the device's housing.

苹果再获专利:外壳电容变化感应新技术

美国专利商标局（USPTO）授予苹果一项名为“电子设备外壳电容变化感应”的新专利。通过这项专利技术，电子设备可根据外壳受到的压力偏度来实现相关功能。苹果专利描述称，这种独特的设备外壳感应系统可以用作一种输入模式。

此项苹果专利的设计早在2009年便提出了，当时是为了去掉设备外壳的物理按键，提升产品的外在美观。专利适用于所有触摸屏输入不容易实现或不精准的领域，例如普通触摸屏只能识别一个触屏事件，此外汗水或是液体附着在屏幕上时有可能会影响触摸屏的准确性。这种基于压力形式的输入方式比如挤压、按压或其他让设备金属外壳变形的动作在某些领域具有应用优势。这项技术可能覆盖了苹果生产的所有电脑及手机产品，抑或在未来将取代iPhone和iPad上一直存在着的HOME键。

Apple could unveil iPhone Mini this summer

An iPhone Mini priced at $330 in China would provide a healthy shot in the arm to Apple's Chinese smartphone sales, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty.

A low-priced iPhone would add another 20 percent to the 10 percent Chinese market share currently addressed by the iPhone 5, the analyst said today. Smartphone prices are starting to stabilize in China, which will open up the market for such a phone. But a deal with China Mobile is also key.

Apple currently sells the iPhone to Chinese consumers through China Unicom and China Telecom. The company has been trying to cook up a deal with China Mobile, the country's largest carrier, but has run into stumbling blocks.

Still, the analyst sees China Mobile as a major contributor to the growth of the iPhone, citing a few different factors. First, Apple would launch a new Mini model. Second, legislation for TD-LTE licenses and number portability could pass later this year or in 2014. And third, China Mobile would be more open to subsidizing higher-end smartphones on a TD-LTE network.

传苹果iPhone mini今夏上市

据科技网站外国媒体i报道，摩根士丹利分析师凯蒂·胡伯蒂（KatyHuberty）周二发布报告称，苹果可能会于今年夏天在中国市场推出售价仅330美元（约合人民币2000元）的iPhone mini。

胡伯蒂表示，低价iPhone将令苹果在中国市场上所占份额另外增加20%，目前iPhone 5所占份额为10%。此外，苹果能否与全球最大的移动运营商——中国移动达成合作也极为关键，目前中国约有1500万部iPhone运行在速度较慢的2G网络中。

胡伯蒂认为，中国移动对iPhone销售量增长来说将是主要的推动因素。首先，苹果将推出新的iPhone mini机型；随后，有关TD-LTE授权和“移机不改号业务”的立法可能会在今年晚些时候或2014年通过；其后，中国移动将可为使用TD-LTE网络的高端智能手机提供补贴。
