我要评论You've probably forgotten amidst all this hype about iPhones, but Apple still occasionally makes computers and tablets. And a new patent application reveals that its next ones might have an interesting feature. 。
The patent, first reported by Patently Apple, would be for technology that can make an onscreen keyboard (like that on an iPad) feel like a real keyboard. 。

The device will sense when you pressed each key and provide haptic feedback -- that is, you'll feel like you're pressing a physical key. 。

It seems versatile -- the patent application's images show such a keyboard paired with a laptop, a desktop, and an iPad. 。
The company claims that such a keyboard would have an advantage over physical keyboards in that it could adapt its layout to different user preferences, or be customized for multiple use cases.。
Since this is just a patent application, there's no telling yet if or when such a product will reach the market. Still, such a feature could make Apple's rumored upcoming releases, including a cheaper MacBook Air and two new iPads, even more exciting. And this technology, alongside a recent patent for crumb-resistant keyboards, gives the typists among us a lot to look forward to.。
