What if your iPhone case did more than just protect your device? A new rumor suggests Apple is exploring exactly that. According to a post from the Chinese leaker Instant Digital on Weibo, Apple plans to put “great effort” into its future official cases, transforming them from simple decorations into something far more functional.
The core of the rumor is that Apple is looking to build a “second-layer touch interface” directly into the case. This implies the case itself could become an interactive surface, offering new ways to control your iPhone without ever touching the main screen. This might move the official case from a passive accessory to an active part of the iPhone experience.
Interestingly, the leaker suggests this new technology is designed to “make the iPhone Pro more Pro.” This might imply that these advanced, interactive cases might be an exclusive for Apple’s high-end Pro models. The concept of an official Apple-made smart case with a touch interface is certainly exciting. It opens up possibilities for new shortcuts, camera controls, or app-specific functions. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this rumor as it develops.
