Apple's new smartphone technology could let you use your iPhone painlessly in the rain or even underwater.
In addition to changing the layout of the buttons, the phone would switch from using its typical usual capacitive touch-sensitive mode, that only works well in the dry, to using pressure sensors to detect the force and position of on-screen button presses, similar to Apple’s Force Touch and 3D Touch technologies last used in the iPhone XS range.
In wet mode, certain camera features are automatically removed from the interface, so they can’t be activated, whereas in underwater mode, the usual set of camera controls is removed entirely and replaced with a pair of extra-large buttons. These are much easier to activate underwater but are restricted to simple photo or video capture, without any access to camera settings. In this case, the camera would instead be automatically configured with the best underwater photography settings.
While underwater photography isn’t a typical use case for most iPhone users, having a smartphone that can adapt to and overcome challenging weather conditions would put Apple at a distinct advantage over the competition, especially in locations where moisture events are an everyday occurrence. On the other hand, interfaces that change without warning and move buttons around can be very confusing to some users, so great care will have to be taken with the design.
